“Instead of looking strictly at the disease, I look at the person. Everyone who struggles with dementia or Alzheimer’s is a person who raised a family – a person who lived and worked in the community before the onset of the disease. I try to keep that in mind always. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity.” – Maureen Bradley, former Director of the Royal Innovation Alzheimer’s Care Program
Mission: The skilled nursing facilities of the Royal Health Group are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, homelike environment that encourages a feeling of comfort and safety through a structured, individualized program.
Philosophy: We believe that the quality of life for a person with Alzheimer’s disease is enriched when we honor the uniqueness of each resident by building on their strengths and understanding the essence of who they are as a person.
Program Overview: The program is based on a social model, with family style dining, and activities provided by both recreation staff and C.N.A.s, resulting in more activities, more engagement and a heightened cognition level in a failure-free environment. We utilize innovative approaches including music and movement to help residents recover memory and cognition.
Leadership: The Royal Innovation: Alzheimer’s Care program was developed by Maureen Bradley LPN CDP, one of the Commonwealth’s most respected memory care experts. Maureen brought 40 years of long term care experience to her position, along with a commitment to providing the best quality of life possible for our residents.
Training: All licensed staff members Dementia Practitioners, with CNA’s undergoing in-depth dementia training and given detailed background on residents prior to admission.
Short-Term Rehab: Does a loved one with a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or a related dementia need short-term rehabilitation? If so, we can help. The Royal Innovation: Alzheimer’s Care program is designed to meet the specific needs of this population in an environment that understands Alzheimer’s disease.
