Resources for Lehigh Valley Alzheimer's and Dementia

Alzheimer’s and Dementia profoundly affect families and need to be addressed delicately. Individuals living with cognitive impairment need special care in all facets of life. Similarly, the physical and emotional effects on the caregiver and other loved ones are difficult. For these reasons, South Mountain Memory Care Community has a holistic approach to resident care, staff training, amenities, programming, and incorporating the needs and thoughts of families.

Memory care celebrates the life that remains and cherishes the memories that were made.

As more is learned about Dementia each day, best practices evolve in memory care. South Mountain Memory Care has a strong commitment to proven strategies and best practices in resident care. For answers to frequently asked questions about Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, click here.
