Dogwood Forest, a premiere assisted living community in Alpharetta and eight other locations throughout Georgia, is also the exclusive Atlanta provider of SimpleC, a groundbreaking, non-drug Alzheimer’s treatment. This treatment is incorporated as part of the facility’s overall philosophy of creating an environment that positively impacts quality of life. Because an Alzheimer’s diagnosis can be devastating for both the family and the person diagnosed, the revolutionary SimpleC works hand-in-hand with assisted living facilities and their staffs to take the burden of worry off of both. The implementation of SimpleC, therefore, makes Dogwood Forest an industry leader in the care of patients with Alzheimer’s.
Dogwood Forest’s groundbreaking Memory Care Facility is now enhanced with the addition of this new treatment and reflects the facility’s commitment to patient care and its holistic approach to treatment. Everyday life at Trinity’s assisted living facility in Alpharetta, Georgia, for example, has improved greatly with the advent and implementation of SimpleC.
How SimpleC Improves Senior Living in Alpharetta
SimpleC uses a patient’s own life memories to stimulate the mind, leading to overall physical and mental improvement. By showing a patient a series of photographs taken from his or her scrapbooks and photo albums, the SimpleC method has been shown in clinical trials to decrease agitation, incontinence, wandering and the need for medication. In addition, SimpleC can increase appetite and promote social interactions, sleep time and normal waking patterns among residents with dementia among residents in the Alpharetta senior living facility run by Trinity Lifestyles Management. The therapy is simple, and yet the results are quite promising. Through visual stimulus (photographs), music, and the trusted voice of a loved one, patients are better able to cope with this degenerative disease and experience a better quality of life. Several prestigious colleges and universities are conducting studies to determine if this unique therapy in fact does have the positive effects witnessed by senior living centers across the country, including in Alpharetta.
Assisted Living in Alpharetta Can Only Improve With SimpleC
Though scientific studies are still being conducted, caregivers in assisted living facilities who use this treatment are reporting good results—particularly in calming patients who suffer from Alzheimer’s. Agitation is one of the more difficult aspects of this disease. Both caregivers and relatives of patients have observed positive results from SimpleC. Another unforeseen benefit of this treatment is that it allows caregivers to see their patients as people who lived amazing lives, not only as sick elderly people who need round-the-clock care. It’s a positive treatment for all who participate, especially the patient. Dogwood Forest’s overall philosophy is that its facilities, staff, grounds, dining facilities and medical care, come together in a cohesive, strategic way to create an environment that promotes good health and well-being. In addition to long-term assisted living care, the facility also offers short-term care, adult day care, and post-operative care. One thing is for sure: assisted living in Alpharetta and Trinity’s other locations in Georgia have benefited greatly from Simple C.
