For families in Mount Pleasant, Charleston, and Daniel Island navigating a new diagnosis, finding reliable help is essential.

At Somerby Mount Pleasant, we recognize that memory loss changes your daily life, and we are here to provide the expert support your loved one deserves.

What Is Dementia Care?

Dementia care is a secure residential option for seniors with Alzheimer. It offers specialized structure to help individuals navigate daily life with peace of mind.

Our expert team establishes a comforting, predictable daily rhythm. Through custom training, we ensure every moment is supported with professional memory care techniques.

Is Dementia Care
the Same as Memory Care?

While doctors diagnose dementia, senior living providers typically use the term “memory care” for their secure neighborhoods. Both names describe the same high-standard, professional support system designed for those with cognitive needs.

  • 24/7 Supervision: Professional staff available at all hours.
  • Simplified Layouts: Environments designed to reduce resident confusion.
  • Adaptive Wellness: Care plans that evolve with needs.
  • Daily Assistance: Professional help with all personal tasks.

Who Is Dementia Care For?

Dementia care is the right choice for seniors in Freeport, DeFuniak Springs, and Point Washington who need more supervision and support than what traditional assisted living communities can provide.

It becomes necessary when:

  • Safety is a Concern: Protecting those prone to wandering away.
  • Daily Tasks Become Difficult: Expert help for hygiene and nutrition.
  • Social Isolation Occurs: Creating connection when communication becomes hard.
  • Caregiver Stress Increases: Professional relief for overwhelmed family members.

Our Approach to Dementia Care

Inspired by the heartwarming principles of the best-selling Meet Me Where I Am—An Alzheimer’s Care Guide, our “Meet Me Where I Am” philosophy is at the heart of everything we do. Rather than focusing on what may have been lost, we cherish and celebrate the unique individual standing before us, creating moments of connection and joy.

With compassionate care led by certified dementia practitioners, our team is devoted to making every moment meaningful. R.E.A.C.H. for Life is Bridge Senior Living’s very own science-based, memory care engagement program. It is based on daily sequential programming, a structured continuity based daily routine built to keep residents active while improving well-being and brain health.

We start each day with breakfast and a social event
Exercise: After breakfast, we encourage mid-morning movement with activities like yoga, tai chi, aerobics, and more.

Late morning, we promote brain fitness with trivia, memory games, and word games.

After lunch, residents explore their creative side with arts, crafts, painting, gardening, and other sensory activities.

In the afternoon, residents end their day in a positive way with music, dancing, sing-a-longs, happy hours, and reminiscing.
