Get Personalized Care
One of the most important things to consider before you sign a loved one up for senior care is what their needs are. There are different types of senior care available in different communities. You need to understand what each one offers and match those offerings to your loved one’s health needs.
Assisted Living
At SummerHouse Bay Cove, we offer assisted living and memory care services. Assisted living differs from independent senior care in that it’s best suited for those who are dealing with age-related health problems and mobility issues.
In our community, your loved one will receive personalized care from compassionate staff members who are available 24/7. Typically, this involves help with medication, getting dressed, bathing, and cleaning. That said, every resident has unique needs, so care is always very flexible.
Memory Care
Memory care is reserved for those suffering from Alzheimer’s and dementia – conditions that affect 63,000 people in Mississippi. Residents receive all of the same care that assisted living residents do, but with specialized programming that helps them deal with their ever-changing symptoms.
At SummerHouse Bay Cove, our SHINE® Memory Care program is recognized by the Alzheimer’s Association for its personal and science-based approach. Your loved one will get exactly what they need each day to navigate their condition successfully.
Enjoy Privacy and Independence
One of the great things your loved one will enjoy daily is their apartment. All residents get to choose their accommodations. Our assisted living floor plans include multiple suites and one-bedroom options with different layouts that all have lounge areas and kitchens.
Memory care residents have simplified suites that prioritize their safety and security. Whatever type of accommodation your loved one ends up with, they’ll be able to make it their own.
There’s a huge emphasis placed on the community aspect of senior living, but we recognize that independence is crucial as well. Whenever your loved one isn’t partaking in social activities, they’ll be lounging in their modern apartment.
Quality Staff and Healthcare
What you get from SummerHouse Bay Cove assisted living is the most qualified and caring staff possible. Residents build deep connections with staff members, as they’re the people who are intimately involved in their lives and care, sometimes for years.
Staff are highly trained, especially memory care staff. Our SHINE® Memory Care specialists receive ongoing training to stay on top of changes in standards of care for dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Residents also have regular health appointments with an on-site nurse. As residents age, their health evolves as well. It’s important to have healthcare professionals available to monitor the health of residents so they’re always getting the right medications and care.
Enjoy Assisted Living Amenities
Your loved one will never be bored in our care. Our assisted living community has countless amenities that make residents’ daily lives exciting.
In addition to our in-house restaurant, we offer a bistro for coffee and small bites. There’s an on-site beauty salon and barber shop, an activity area, and a games room. Residents can sit down and play the grand piano or pick up a book in the library before enjoying the waterfront veranda.
All of these amenities are available to your loved one at all times. Often, amenities are what tip the balance when choosing between communities. At SummerHouse Bay Cove, our amenities are second to none.
Daily Activities for Seniors
In addition to our amenities, we offer a daily calendar of rotating activities to keep residents busy. These activities aren’t just for fun, they’re geared toward the health and wellness of residents.
Seniors need 2.5 hours of moderate exercise per week to maintain their heart, joint, and bone health. Many of the activities they’ll partake in each day include things like yoga, leisure sports, and walking around the community.
Our activities also promote socialization between residents. Social isolation is a huge problem among senior populations. By participating in activities, residents are allowed to spend time with their peers.
Nutritious Dining
Nutrition is an essential part of healthy aging. Our in-house restaurant has a rotating menu of tasty and nutritious meals. The restaurant-style dining experience is available for three meals per day with tableside service.
When your loved one feels like cooking, they’ll be able to do so in their room’s kitchen. Small bites and snacks are also available throughout the day at our bistro. You’ll never have to worry about your loved one going hungry or failing to get the right nutrients.
Regular Outings
Even in a stellar community like ours, assisted living and memory care residents can sometimes feel shut in. We mitigate these feelings by offering complimentary transportation so they can enjoy regular outings.
Whether they want to go for coffee with fellow residents or meet a loved one for lunch, the transportation service is available to them. They’ll always be able to get to and from the community safely.
