Finding the right care for a loved one suffering from cognitive decline is more than a decision—it’s an emotional journey. For many families, the challenge lies in balancing quality care with affordability. That’s where Symphony Senior Living’s affordable memory care program, 'My Home,' shines. 

Designed to support those in the early stages of dementia, 'My Home' provides personalized care in a warm, welcoming environment without stretching your budget. Imagine a space where your loved one can be at ease, enveloped in compassion, and treated with dignity. 

Let’s understand what makes this program truly special.

Understanding Memory Care at Symphony Senior Living

Memory care services are specifically designed for individuals experiencing dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, or other memory-related conditions. At Symphony Senior Living, this care encompasses safety, personalized support, and engaging activities to enhance residents’ cognitive and emotional well-being. With expert staff and thoughtfully designed environments, Symphony prioritizes comfort and dignity for every resident.

At locations like Symphony Kanata and Forest Valley Terrace, memory care offers specialized programs that go beyond basic medical support. These services ensure residents remain active, socially connected, and cared for with empathy. 

While traditional memory care can be a significant investment, Symphony’s 'My Home' offers an affordable alternative for families seeking quality care without financial strain.

What Makes 'My Home' Unique?

Symphony Senior Living's 'My Home' memory care program in Forest Valley Terrace is designed for individuals in the early stages of dementia, offering personalized care at a fraction of the cost of traditional memory care. Starting at just $3,200 per month, 'My Home' provides an affordable solution for families seeking peace of mind.

Key features of the 'My Home' program include:

• Affordable Rates: By focusing on early-stage dementia, 'My Home' reduces costs without compromising quality, making specialized care more accessible.
• Community Integration: Residents enjoy an engaging and connected community with activities designed to promote social interaction and mental stimulation.

The 'My Home' program achieves what many families have been looking for: a supportive environment that feels less like a facility and more like home.

Memory Care vs. 'My Home': What’s the Difference?

While both memory care services and 'My Home' cater to individuals with dementia, they differ in scope and focus. Traditional memory care provides comprehensive support for individuals at various stages of memory loss, including advanced Alzheimer’s care. This level of care usually requires more intensive medical support, secure environments, and activities tailored to different cognitive levels.

'My Home,' on the other hand, is specifically designed for those in the early stages of dementia. It emphasizes affordability and a home-like atmosphere, making it ideal for families who may not need the extensive services of traditional memory care but still need individual support in a safe environment.

Think of it as a stepping stone—a gentle, cost-effective transition into memory care that ensures loved ones receive the care they need.

The holistic approach of 'My Home' creates a wonderfully nurturing space where residents don’t just find comfort—they flourish, building connections and enjoying emotional well-being every day.

Building a Community of Care

What makes Symphony Senior Living truly special is its heartfelt dedication to creating a sense of belonging. With 'My Home,' your parents or grandparents become part of a lively, caring community where new friendships can grow.  All our activities are thoughtfully designed to cater to each resident’s unique personality and interests: it’s a place where everyone feels seen, valued, and connected.

We have found that this sense of community is especially important for those in the early stages of dementia. Social engagement helps to maintain cognitive function and, more importantly, reduces feelings of isolation, which is so common in these instances. 

Is 'My Home' Right for Your Family?

Deciding on the best care for a loved one is a deeply personal process and one which shouldn’t be taken lightly. With Symphony Senior Living’s affordable memory care options, families can feel confident in their choice. Our unique offering balances quality and cost, providing early-stage dementia care in a supportive environment.

Whatever your senior living needs, our dedicated team at Symphony Senior Living ensures that every resident is treated with dignity and compassion. If you’d like to know more, please book a tour of your nearest residence or contact us for more information.
