Alzheimer’s and Dementia Memory Care in Fort Worth, Texas.

You are not alone.

A life lived with forgetfulness is filled with ups and downs for both the elder and their loved ones. One of the major milestones in this journey is the moment of diagnosis. Whether it’s Alzheimer’s or another form of age-related dementia, it can feel like a devastating blow. Appropriately called, “The Long Goodbye,” loved ones begin to brace themselves for a long road ahead, filled with perpetual loss. This can be a painful journey but can also be filled with small victories and priceless moments too. One thing is for sure, you do not have to travel this long road alone. Let our loving team of experts at Wesley Court at Stevenson Oaks, our Memory Care neighborhood, come alongside you to provide care, comfort and confidence for all that a day may hold. Our team looks beyond the diagnosis in order to develop a plan that is based around all that your loved one can do and not focused on what they can’t. Simple moments of connection can make all the difference, that’s why we put our full attention on understanding your loved one’s core needs which are based on the seven Eden Alternative Domains of well-being:  identity, growth, autonomy, security, connectedness, meaning, and joy. Within these domains, none are specific to treating an illness but rather nurturing the person as a whole. You see, our team is committed to knowing and understanding the illness while understanding who they were, who they are and what may lie ahead. We will be by your side, through it all.

What to expect.

With individualized plans for care and led by a licensed nurse, our full-time professional certified staff personally engages with every Memory Care resident. We offer:

Experts on tuning-in.

When your loved one moves into Wesley Court, our memory care community at Stevenson Oaks, expect lots of questions. What they like and dislike, their favorite foods, their key loved one’s names, their former occupation, hobbies, interests, favorite music and more. This is only a sampling of all we hope to learn so that we can effectively join them in their world. We consider ourselves experts on tuning-in to all that is said and those things that remain unsaid too. You see, when you understand that “behaviors” like crying, wandering, anger or restlessness are really just signs of an unmet need, suddenly the need for medications is reduced, anxiety and fear is less frequent and each day is filled with a few more wins.

Hand in hand training.

Evident in programs and activities that help residents through the day with less strain and more joy, Hand in Hand Training – the CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) program –equips our dementia care staff with the ability to assist each resident.
