Concerned about a Loved One? Memory Consultations Can Help with Answers, Resources



Shakopee Library - 235 Lewis St S, Shakopee, MN 55379

Do you have a loved one who is struggling with confusion and forgetfulness daily? Who can you turn to for answers or help? Few resources in Scott County address the issues surrounding dementia. It’s no wonder family members feel frightened and alone in handling the problem.

If you have concerns about a family member or are concerned about your own health, a memory consultation program hosted by Emerald Crest is available free of charge. A registered nurse or occupational therapist from Emerald Crest by Augustana Care will be available at the Shakopee Library by appointment Thursday, July 21st and Thursday, August 4th from 10 a.m. to noon. Experts can provide guidance and information on local services and resources. To schedule an appointment, contact Linh Tran at (952) 856-7529 or lmtran@augustanacare.org

Quotes

Over the six years my mother has resided at Emerald Crest Burnsville, my family and I have been impressed with the quality of care provided. As Mom's dementia has progressed, the graduated care model has properly addressed her changing needs over the years. A highlight of the week: the weekly chapel services led by Pastor Arlen where Mom can sing along to old familiar songs. It's such a joy to receive weekly updates from Pastor Arlen so that family members who live a distance can still "see" Mom/Grandma each week. The nursing staff are very observant of any changes in daily habits and have identified medical issues in a timely manner. The attentiveness of all staff has become even more important as Mom's verbal skills have diminished. We are comforted as a family to know that Mom is being well cared for in between our visits. 

— Jean, daughter of resident
