Memory Care
in Bellevue, Nebraska
Our Memory Care community is a secure environment tailored to people living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Our community offers private or companion suites and has comfortable common areas designed to stimulate our residents’ cognitive abilities. Daily routines of bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, and managing medication are customized to each resident’s needs, along with social and cognitively stimulating activities like games, music, and crafts.
We know that memory loss affects everyone differently and value each resident as an individual with different care needs. When one’s cognitive abilities change, our need for purpose, meaning, and routine continues.
Portraits® Memory Care Program
Our Memory Care program, Portraits®, creates that purpose through distinct roles and daily routines for each resident within their community. Following Montessori principles, these activities maximize that resident’s abilities – focusing on what they can do rather than what they can’t.
We strive to make these activities as relevant to the residents’ lives and histories as possible. Portraits® is an ongoing way of life, each and every day, aimed at retaining, exercising and stimulating residents’ remaining abilities. Because we know that memory loss affects everyone differently, associates receive continuous training to apply Montessori methods to the different types of dementia.
Using Artificial Intelligence to Enhance Memory Care Safety
We understand that when it comes to your parent’s care, nothing can replace the human touch—the warmth of a smile, the gentle reassurance, and the attentive listening. At Heritage Communities, our dedicated associates are the heart of our memory care community. They know your loved ones by name, their favorite stories, and the little things that bring comfort.
Now, let us introduce you to AUGi, artificial intelligence-enabled video monitoring that works alongside our care team to enhance their capabilities and provide an extra layer of vigilance. Think of AUGi as the watchful companion that never sleeps, always alert to changes in movement and behavior.
How AUGi’s artificial intelligence supports our associates:
- Early Detection: AUGi spots subtle signs that might go unnoticed. If your parent gets up in the middle of the night or takes an unexpected turn, AUGi sends an alert directly to our team.
- Fall Prevention: AUGi’s real-time artificial intelligence enabled monitoring helps prevent falls. It’s like having an invisible hand to steady your loved one when they need it most.
- Peace of Mind: Our associates can focus on building relationships and providing personalized care, knowing that the artificial intelligence within AUGi has their back.
This artificial intelligence enabled video monitoring platform available exclusively at Heritage Communities in the Omaha metro shown to reduce resident falls by 50%, falls resulting in injury by 80%, and hospitalizations by 60%.
