MEMORY CARE
Memory Care in Greensboro, NC, for Dementia & Alzheimer’s
TREATING MEMORY LOSS WITH RESPECT & COMPASSION.
Wisteria Place at WhiteStone provides memory care in Greensboro, NC, that is dedicated to caring for older adults with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Because the needs of those receiving Alzheimer’s and dementia care are so unique, we promote a blend of specialized care training, staffing, and senior memory care programming targeted at enriching the quality of life of our residents.
Many assisted living and memory care communities offer the basics of memory care. It takes a community managed by Life Care Services to give back the control you lost when your loved one was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. More than just a protective environment where residents are well taken care of, our senior dementia care communities are filled with individuals who are purposefully engaged in programming, remain socially active, and live each day with as much meaning as possible.

OUR HEARTFELT CARE PHILOSOPHY
These simple, powerful core beliefs underscore our care philosophy:
- We recognize that what capabilities remain are far more important than what is lost
- We make each moment meaningful and purposeful
- We focus on each resident’s unique abilities
- We create success stories, one small victory at a time
Capturing Your Loved One’s Life Story
Our skilled, trained and compassionate senior care team uses the insights gained from each life story to develop person-centered activities and programming for each resident. We engage with our residents and their family members to accomplish the following:
- Record life achievements, events and special occasions
- Capture memories and collect pictures
- Identify key memory cues and triggers
- Promote and support mental, physical and emotional stimulation
- Aid conversation with friends and family
UNIQUE PROGRAMMING
Staff members get to know each resident as if they are a family member, nurturing each person with the compassion and dignity they deserve. Activities are designed to promote physical and emotional well-being and are tailored to individual interests and abilities.
INNOVATIVE THERAPY
Our Care and Wellness Center features a Snoezelen Room, a therapeutic environment that improves mood and calms aggressive behavior using sensory therapy.
This multisensory environment can be adapted to meet the needs of each person to help increase awareness, reduce fear and improve communication. WhiteStone is one of the few senior living communities in Greensboro to offer this innovative therapy.
CREATING A SENSE OF BALANCE
Individuals with memory loss often experience agitation or frustration if they don’t have balance in their lives. For residents with memory loss, incorporating specific routines in a familiar, secure and safe environment minimizes anxiety.
SELF-CARE
Little things like getting dressed, washing our face, and combing or styling our hair play a big role in maintaining self-esteem. We help residents be successful at those self-care tasks each day and celebrate their abilities to accomplish them.
VOCATION & PRODUCTIVITY
Most of us have had work and daily tasks that have given our lives a sense of purpose. We learn about your loved one’s past career or vocation and find ways to incorporate or simulate some of those routine activities into daily life.
RECREATION & LEISURE
By nature, we tend to look forward to weekends and vacations. We engage our residents in recreational and leisure activities that are familiar and similar to those they have always loved.
THE 24-HOUR BRAIN
To reduce frustration, restore confidence and build self-esteem among residents, we schedule more challenging activities and tasks at appropriate times in the day to maximize remaining abilities. For example, your loved one might tackle puzzles or painting in the morning and wind down toward sunset with a quiet walk or soft music before bedtime.
LIFE STATIONS
You might spot a laundry station, a business desk, or an art workstation waiting to attract the attention of former executives, homemakers, artists and hobbyists. The unique Life Stations offer areas for spontaneous interaction.
POINTS OF INTEREST
From interactive wall art to a raised garden or a bench near a small fountain, Points of Interest bring simple joy to memory care residents by creating opportunities for stimulating engagement, meaningful conversation, and peaceful and relaxing moments.
