Dementia Care

Introducing “Reminiscence” at Sunrise

Every Sunrise community features a separate specialised dementia care area completely devoted to seniors who are experiencing memory loss, often through Alzheimer’s disease or another form of the condition.

We call it our Reminiscence neighbourhood. A major part of our residential dementia care approach, it’s home to a wealth of therapeutic design features that have been carefully designed by our dementia care specialists to bring comfort and familiarity to those living with memory loss or dementia.

It’s the same high quality, specialised care that you’ll find in the assisted living neighbourhoods of our communities – but with a specialised focus on understanding people who are living with the effects of Alzheimer’s or other forms of memory loss.

You’ll also find compassionate, caring staff who are trained to gently accompany seniors as they experience the good and bad days that go hand-in-hand with memory loss. We enlist a whole host of techniques to inspire moments of happiness, including personalised memory boxes, sounds and gentle reminders of yesteryear.

Discover Reminiscence for yourself

If you’re at all concerned about memory loss in a loved one, you’re more than welcome to visit our Reminiscence neighbourhood to see at first-hand the specialist care we offer. Recent research suggests the right therapy can have a beneficial effect on the progress of memory loss, especially if diagnosed and treated early. So, the sooner you talk to us the better.

A word from our memory care specialists

“We try to get into the mindset of the person. We don’t question them or make them feel insecure. We simply ‘follow them’ and offer the reassurance they need.”
