Skilled Touch for Memory Care Residents
Our understanding of the aging process allows us to work comfortably with those living with confusion, disorientation, memory loss and personality changes. During a session, we are able to understand both verbal and non-verbal signals.
During a session, two licensed massage therapist will go to your memory care unit and individually offer residents a gentle massage. Service also includes relaxation music, aromatherapy and pet therapy.
A back massage or simply holding a person’s hand has the power to elicit positive, life-affirming feelings and responses. People with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia do not lose the capacity for human emotion or recognition of a caring touch.
"I just want to tell you again how much all of us here at Sunrise appreciate you and your staff for the miracles you perform when you bring your healing touch to our home!" Laurie Palmer Reminiscence Coordinator Sunrise Senior Living Norwood
