Memory Care

Where Enriching Services Meet Empathetic Care

The memory care journey is unique for everyone, but 1 thing is for certain: it’s still possible to live a full, enriching life while living with dementia.

Dementia can pose numerous challenges for families and their loved ones. To help, we offer a personalized, research-backed approach specifically focused on supporting those living with these conditions.

With 24/7 health care, an array of supportive services, and a genuine commitment to preserving the well-being of our residents, our aim is to help families worry less about the trials of today and focus more on embracing the opportunities of tomorrow.

Why Choose Memory Care?

Cognitive conditions like dementia can affect the safety and security of loved ones in virtually endless ways. To add to their complexity, these conditions rarely affect people exactly the same way, which can lead to stress, anxiety, and uncertainty about a loved one’s quality of life.

Memory care at Kingston HealthCare aims to alleviate the strain that dementia can place on families by inviting their loved ones to a lifestyle based on authentic living and empathetic support.

Teepa Snow’s GEMS Model

Kingston HealthCare uses Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care and the GEMS model as a key element of our memory care approach.

Through these models, our staff can be better equipped to approach each resident with compassion while recognizing, respecting, and supporting their unique capabilities.

We achieve this by breaking down the level of care into 6 categories, or “gems.”

Sapphire

Sapphire state residents have minds that we would say are aging as expected.

Sapphire minds are flexible, organized, and work well with other GEMS, making these individuals excellent care partners for those showing signs of progressive dementia.

Emerald

Emerald state residents may face challenges with clear thinking and communication. In some cases, they may blame others for these difficulties. For families, stability can be found in adapting to these changes rather than focusing on the flaws.

Diamond

People in a diamond state can show signs of mental clarity and acuity, but also a degree of rigidity and inflexibility to daily changes. It can be difficult to identify dementia in those with a diamond state due to a mix of past and present behaviors, but those with a diamond mind can still shine just as bright.

Pearl

Pearl state individuals have constantly active reflexes. In time, their body systems can start to fail and their gross motor skills may deteriorate. However, with proper care, we can help reveal the remarkable pearl that remains within each of these individuals.

Ruby

Ruby state individuals face a decline in fine motor skills but can still perform larger movements and maintain strength. Care partners should manage stress through deep breathing and flexibility, aiming to embody the calm, supportive qualities of a sapphire.

Amber

Amber state residents focus on living in the moment and seeking enjoyment, often at the expense of their safety. Amber state individuals can sometimes present challenges for care partners due to their unpredictable behavior and “out-of-character” decisions.
