Memory Care Services in Lewes, DE

Memory care residents have their own private or semiprivate suite. All resident suites include a private half-bath. Families are encouraged to personalize their loved one’s space and bring familiar furniture, photos, and other items to make their surroundings recognizable and comfortable.

An attractive privacy fence with a secured gate surrounds the outside patio and courtyard, while the circular path leads residents directly back into the building. If a resident enters the courtyard area, a door alarm alerts the team immediately.

The memory care team at The Moorings partners with the Delaware MUSIC & MEMORY^® program, a unique offering that uses music to enrich the lives of people living with dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and other cognitive impairments. Music has a calming effect that reduces stress and agitation while prompting positive emotions. Residents receive an iPod downloaded with their favorite music playlists. Though they may no longer be able to communicate, they often recall the words to a favorite song, allowing them to reengage socially.

In addition to enjoying the outside patio and courtyard, residents receiving memory care may enjoy the walking trails, butterfly gardens or onsite library when accompanied by a family or team member. Involvement in activities outside the memory care neighborhood helps all community members develop a deeper understanding and acceptance of those living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, and share in the comfort and delight they experience.
