Highgate at Temecula opened its doors last week to residents that have been waiting for the community to accept move ins to both assisted living apartments, as well as memory care suites. With the opening of this new assisted living and dementia care community in Temecula comes a unique new living option for residents specifically living in the memory care community.
Memory care also referred to as dementia care is a form of long-term care designed to meet the specific needs of those with Alzheimer's, dementia or other types of memory loss. The memory care at Highgate at Temecula offers a unique semi-private suite living option for memory care residents, in addition to traditional private and companion suites.
The semi-private suites offer two private bedrooms with their own entrance, but shared space that promotes companionship. Also equipped with a dual vanity, residents have plenty of counter space for their personal items. Semi-private rooms are more affordable than private rooms and can be easier on the budget. Semi-private suites offer all the features and benefits of private suites at a more affordable price.
Companionship can play a part in slowing the progress of cognitive decline. Companionship also makes the transition easier, ensuring that two residents with similar interests have been paired together. For those who have raised families, had a spouse, or always maintained a network of close friends, the need for meaningful relationships remains through our lives, even as we experience the loss of those closest to us.
The companionship that semi-private suites offer can diminish feelings of loneliness, and help instill a sense of purpose in the lives of the residents living at Highgate at Temecula.
