A Warm, Purposeful Approach to Dementia Care
Memory loss from Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia should never define a person’s life. At NorBella Prior Lake, we provide a secure, structured neighborhood that restores peace of mind to families.
Our specialized team highlights what your loved one can do, celebrating daily triumphs while relieving you of the exhausting, full-time caregiving role.
As a proud recipient of the prestigious AHCA/NCAL Bronze Quality Award, our community is nationally recognized for its commitment to clinical excellence and enriching the daily lives of seniors.
What Is Memory Care?
Memory care is a highly structured, secure senior living option designed specifically for individuals navigating Alzheimer’s, dementia, or progressive cognitive decline.
It goes beyond standard assisted living by offering a highly specialized physical environment, elevated staff-to-resident ratios, and customized sensory support.
- They have cognitive deficiencies like Alzheimer’s and dementia.
- They need more professional caregiving services.
- They are not able to live at home safely anymore.
- They struggle with stress or anxiety while living alone.
- They have a history of injuries, or if they are known to wander.
To ensure our staff is providing the best care possible, we have them complete our Enriching Connections program: a unique training program designed to help our staff create meaningful relationships with our memory care residents.
Success in this program is determined by meeting these several pillars:
- Relationships & Community: Every individual is invited to belong.
- Commitment: Our team is committed to providing every resident with personalized care.
- Certification & Training: All management and memory care staff are certified in dementia care by the Alzheimer’s Association, in addition to other dementia training.
- Services: Our nursing staff is at the ready to help families make the best decisions for their loved ones.
- Meaningful Life & Engagement: “Inspire Wellness for Life” is our core program philosophy that promotes the best quality of life for every resident.
- Environment: We make continuous improvements so that our community remains dementia-friendly.
- Accountability: We are always monitoring processes, plans, and culture to maintain our high standards of care.
No 2 people are ever the same, and their care should reflect how unique they are. Just before your loved one moves into our community, we take a look at their daily needs so we can customize the right level of care for them.
Some of these daily tasks can include:
- Eating
- Bathing and personal hygiene
- Moving around
- Managing medications
- Dressing
COMPLETE Senior Living
Managing cognitive decline should never mean compromising on physical health.
Through our COMPLETE Senior Living health and wellness approach, we bring high-acuity nursing and proactive medical support directly to your loved one’s lifestyle and routines.
Our team is trained to detect subtle behavioral cues to manage complex physical issues early, including high-acuity diabetic management and sliding scale insulin.
