Well-Trained Staff
Since numerous members of our care staff receive training in Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) as well as the use of our Automated External Defibrillator (AED), residents and families are reassured that we are able to provide a swift response to medical emergencies.
At Palm Beach Memory Care, we are also a leader in offering senior health information clinics and seminars in conjunction with the local healthcare community serving Palm Beach and Martin County, Florida.
Health & Wellness
An Integrated Approach to Well-being
Because research shows the benefits of healthy aging, we plan our programs to support well-being through an integrated mind-body-spirit approach to health and wellness. In addition to healthcare, our health and wellness approach combines physical activity, mental stimulation, nutrition, socialization, and spiritual fulfillment as follows:
- Physical Activity
Physical activity supports heart, muscular and skeletal strength and supplies oxygenated blood to the brain, supporting cognitive health. - Mental Stimulation
Mental stimulation helps develop and maintain cellular connections in the brain and defend against neurodegenerative conditions. - Nutrition
Nutrition is important in combating the effects of aging. For example, foods such as salmon, fish oil and walnuts contain omega-3 fatty acids that support brain and heart health, while foods like blueberries, broccoli, green tea and chocolate are rich in antioxidants that help defend against cancers and the impact of damaging agents (free radicals) on the brain.
- Socialization
Socialization is very important to keeping people happy and stimulated, which in turn supports health, cognitive function, and even longevity. - Spiritual Fulfillment
Spiritual fulfillment and being part of a community are also shown to help reduce stress and contribute to health, happiness and longevity.
Using these core principles, we seek to promote wellbeing so that each resident experiences a quality of life that makes each day enjoyable.
