Support to enhance everyday cognition.
Our memory care receives high marks across the board. From quality of life to quality of care, you’ll discover that the Cuthbertson Village Memory Care is a 180-degree shift from “institutional” care to “neighborhood living” for people living with dementia or Alzheimer’s. With one of the best staff-to-resident ratios in the state, you can count on your loved one being well cared for each and every day.
While loved should feel right at home, it’s important you feel comfortable visiting as well. Besides private rooms for residents, each household has a beautiful living area with a fireplace, flat-screen television, open kitchen, private dining area and large outdoor courtyard.
Cuthbertson Village has no nurses’ stations. Instead, caregivers wear smart technology devices that allow them to roam freely and engage more frequently with our elders to follow their lead.
At the heart of the household is an indoor atrium providing a bright environment with intimate seating, a chapel, beauty salon, movie theatre and the Hummingbird Café, perfect for events and cooking demonstrations. Socialization is natural in this welcoming environment.
Since every person and journey is different, we believe in a flexible, customized approach. We develop shared profiles on each resident and what they like. This allows us to shape their day and meet them where they are in each moment. Our Life Enrichment Programming employs an array of engaging programs such as exercise, art, music, special events, and more!
Opening Minds through Art (OMA) is an award-winning, evidence-based, intergenerational art-making program for people with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of neurocognitive disorders.
Aldersgate is the only retirement living community in North Carolina to offer this unique, ground-breaking program to its elders. Through OMA, elders express themselves, despite their diagnosis of dementia. The projects are intentionally structured to promote the social engagement, autonomy and dignity of the artists with dementia.
The OMA art-making process involves carefully structured steps aimed at maximizing the possibility of creative expression. Elder artists are provided with manageable choices and failure-free activities that allow them to become active agents in their own creative process. Each artist is paired with a volunteer in six, one-on-one art-making sessions. The relationship-building between the elder artist and the volunteer is a win-win for all parties -– allowing our elders with dementia to have a no-risk environment for creative expression and allowing our volunteers to build meaningful relationships.
