Memory Care
A Whole Person Approach
Loving someone living with memory impairment and loss is one of the most emotionally, mentally, and physically difficult times a family can experience. The fear and uncertainty many families feel is then paired with an overwhelming sense of grief and guilt as the disease progresses. Buckner’s unmatched approach combines faith-based principles with science-backed strategies for a whole-person approach to care.
Blending Faith-Based
Care With Proven
Dementia Support
Our unique, faith-based approach to serving seniors living with a dementia diagnosis is delivered through SparkHappiness Memory Care by Buckner programming.
SparkHappiness draws on the cherished faith-based experiences and memories of seniors from their childhood to inspire comfort, peace, and joy. Designed for those living with dementias like Vascular dementia, Alzheimer’s, Lewy Body, and Parkinson’s Disease dementia, the program uses familiar prayers, hymns, stories, and traditions to gently spark treasured memories. Pairing this approach with the latest dementia-science based approaches creates a memory care setting where residents experience less pain and agitation, and more opportunities for peace.
