The Benefits of Memory Care with Kensington Club at The Kensington Sierra Madre

Memory loss is a deeply personal journey unique to each individual. 

At The Kensington Sierra Madre, we understand the importance of providing tailored care that preserves existing cognitive abilities while offering support as memory loss progresses. 

Our unique early-stage memory care service, The Kensington Club or “K Club”, aims to help current or new assisted living residents experiencing mild changes in cognition be comfortable with their transition to a senior living community. 

Through small group activities, we help seniors in all stages of memory loss maintain their quality of life and age in place happily and healthily. 

Learn more about our memory care community, the benefits of memory care services, and Kensington Club. 

Personalized care for progressive memory loss

As memory loss begins, its pace and effects can vary significantly from person to person.

Our dedicated team at The Kensington Sierra Madre recognizes the importance of early detection and personalized care. With our memory care services, we aim to “catch” telltale symptoms as early as possible and provide immediate steps to preserve cognitive ability.

The Kensington Club is our unique early-stage memory care program designed for assisted living residents experiencing mild changes in cognition. This exceptional program offers a strong relationship-based focus, peer support, sensory movement, and family participation. 

Our professionally trained team ensures residents receive individualized support, fostering confidence, comfort, and trust.

Benefits of The Kensington Club

Memory care programs such as the K Club offer many benefits for individuals with memory loss and their families. If your loved one is new to assisted living, the club can help to ease this transition and show all that a senior living community can offer. 

Social health boost

The Kensington Club provides an engaging environment where residents can interact and connect through various activities and specialized programming. 

By fostering new connections and relationships within a positive setting, seniors can experience a renewed sense of social well-being. Seniors who live alone risk falling into isolation and potentially worsening their symptoms. 

Group activities reduce the risk of isolation and loneliness and help to promote a sense of belonging within the community and their lives. Engaging in conversation can also stimulate cognitive function, language skills, and social cognition.

Support for caregivers and families

The Kensington Club is focused on strengthening the mental and physical well-being of our senior loved ones and provides respite and peace of mind for caregivers. 

Our program allows caregivers to recharge and refresh while their loved ones receive exceptional care from our caring and capable team.

When caregivers receive support, they are less prone to caregiver burnout, which can affect both the seniors’ and caregivers’ emotional, mental, and physical health. 

Maintaining cognitive abilities

Through brain wellness exercises, cognitive activities, and learning experiences, The Kensington Club helps residents maintain their current level of cognitive ability. 

By engaging in expressive arts, music therapies, and body movement programs like yoga, tai chi, and dance, residents engage the brain and slow cognitive decline, while also doing activities they love

Holistic well-being

Our program encourages journaling, meditation, and mindfulness, allowing residents to reflect and connect with themselves more deeply. Outings to local museums, restaurants, and parks provide intellectual stimulation and exploration opportunities. 

Additionally, intergenerational activities and volunteerism promote emotional well-being and a sense of fulfillment.

Structured routines and visual cues

Consistent routines provide a sense of familiarity and predictability, reducing confusion and anxiety. 

Visual cues, such as signs and labels, can assist individuals in navigating their environment and promoting independence. 

Non-judgmental assistance and support

Participants of The Kensington Club engage with their peers safely and receive the support they need to learn, adjust, and reinforce knowledge and skills. 

Our program fosters an environment of understanding and compassion, ensuring that residents feel comfortable seeking assistance without fear of judgment.

To ensure our residents are comfortable, our team prioritizes the following: 

  • Patience and understanding 
  • An individualized approach 
  • Validation and empathy 
  • Non-verbal communication 
  • Person-centered care
  • Emotional support 
  • Dignity and respect 

The aspects of non-judgemental assistance and support in memory care programs, such as K Club, aim to create a safe, compassionate, and understanding environment for individuals with memory loss.
