At Tomlinson Assisted Living, we provide compassionate, specialized dementia care for seniors living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of memory loss. Located in Michigan, our memory care program is thoughtfully designed to offer safety, structure, and a sense of belonging for residents while giving peace of mind to families.

We understand how difficult it can be to watch a loved one struggle with confusion, memory loss, and changes in behavior. That’s why our caregivers are trained in person-centered dementia care techniques that promote dignity, reduce anxiety, and foster meaningful engagement throughout each day.

Comprehensive Memory Care Programming

Our memory care services in Michigan include a wide range of engaging activities and therapeutic support to meet the emotional, physical, and cognitive needs of our residents:

🌿 Therapeutic and Sensory Activities

• Music Therapy: Familiar songs from residents’ youth can spark memories and improve mood. Live music sessions or personalized playlists can be part of daily routines.

• Aromatherapy & Sensory Stimulation: Calming scents (like lavender) and sensory boxes filled with varied textures can help reduce anxiety and agitation.

🧠 Cognitive and Memory Engagement

• Reminiscence Activities: Storytelling, photo albums, and memory boxes help residents recall cherished moments and feel connected to their personal histories.

• Brain Games: Simple puzzles, sorting tasks, or matching games encourage cognitive stimulation while remaining low-pressure and enjoyable.

🎨 Creative and Purposeful Expression

• Art and Craft Sessions: Painting, coloring, or tactile crafts allow residents to express themselves even if verbal communication becomes difficult.

• Gardening Therapy: Planting flowers or herbs offers sensory engagement and a sense of accomplishment.

🤝 Social Connection and Emotional Support

• Small-Group Activities: Games like bingo, simple trivia, or sing-alongs provide structure and foster social interaction in a safe setting.

• Pet Therapy: Visits from our house dog brings joy, reduces stress, and improve overall mood.

🧘‍♀️ Mind-Body Wellness

• Chair Yoga and Gentle Stretching: Movement-based activities can enhance flexibility and reduce restlessness while being tailored to each resident’s ability.
