Expert Dementia Care

At Morningside, we understand that providing care for people with Alzheimer’s disease or other types of memory impairment can be challenging for families and caregivers.  That’s why we have partnered with The Copper Ridge Institute, affiliated with The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, to provide the country’s only research-based dementia Model of Care©.

Offering two levels of dementia care, we begin with a thorough medical, social and psychiatric evaluation of each resident, so that our nursing team can develop an Individualized Service Plan and Daily Life Plan to better understand and honor each resident’s unique needs, preferences, habits and interests.

Our dementia programs are located in a warm, safe, cheerful physical environment that allows residents the freedom to wander and partake in activities as they choose.  It’s an ideal social setting for interacting with other residents and staff.

Our comprehensive activities program is designed to provide interest-specific activities for each resident to maximize participation and socialization.  Whether it’s planting a garden, exercising, baking or participating in current events – there’s always wonderful opportunities to enjoy every day to it’s fullest.

Staff who work on our dementia programs are hand-selected and put through a rigorous dementia training program, including “Personal Care Basics”, “Dementia Concepts”, “Approaching Persons with Dementia”, “Communicating with Dementia Residents” and “Best Practices in Dementia Care”.  Every year Morningside staff also attends The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine’s Annual Update on the Treatment of Alzheimer’s and Related Disorders.
