Emerald Crest Introduces Memory Consultations in Victoria

July 12, 2016

When a loved one shows signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s, family members may often feel worried, fearful and isolated. Those who are diagnosed with dementia often feel the same way. When you are in the midst of that fear and uncertainty, it can be difficult to establish a plan-of-action. With few resources or lack of information about resources, families can be left wondering how to best care for their loved one.

Now, there is a new resource for families and individuals to provide concrete, practical information about dementia and Alzheimer’s. Emerald Crest Memory Care will be offering cost-free, private consultations for those who are interested in developing an action plan. These consultations will be held at The Blessing House in Victoria between 10 a.m. and noon on the fourth Friday of each month. Call 952-856-7521 to make an appointment and utilize the resources that available to you.

Shakopee is hosting two similar programs during in July and August 2016. For information about the Shakopee events, click here.

Quotes

High on our list for a place for our Mom was connection to the church, closeness to her church home, Gethsemane Lutheran, and a private room with her own phone line! Mom was not the kind to share a room. Her opinions were strongly held and vocally shared. We loved that about her, but realized that another might not. Though the cooking was not to her liking ("they never met an onion") we and she realized that residents have many dietary needs. She ate dessert first. The staff, however, allowed us to buy Grape Nuts to offer when she showed up early for breakfast. We endured COVID without Mom, the former TB patient, getting it. When I had other care concerns, staff addressed those at once. It was a good place for my Mom. The Chaplain even showed up wearing a tee shirt with her photo and the phrase "Valedictorian" a fact Mom managed to mention to every new care giver.

— Carol, daughter of resident
