You never imagined it would be this hard. Your parent forgets your name, asks the same question 20 times in 10 minutes, or wanders away from home. The challenges of living with dementia affect not just the person diagnosed but every family member who loves them. You’re searching for answers, support, and a place where your loved one can thrive while receiving specialized care.
The Pegasus Senior Living team members empathize with what you’re going through. We know it’s a team effort and offer comprehensive support designed specifically for seniors facing progressive memory loss.
Memory Care Programming That Honors Each Individual
Living well with dementia requires more than supervision — it demands purposeful connections that respect each person’s history, preferences, and abilities.
Pegasus Senior Living has enhanced its memory care programming to create meaningful daily experiences for residents. Team members receive specialized training in evidence-based approaches that reduce anxiety and confusion while promoting independence. Our programming includes cognitive exercises tailored to individual abilities, music therapy that awakens memories, and sensory activities that stimulate engagement without overwhelming participants.
Each resident’s life story becomes the foundation for personalized care plans. Our caregivers learn about careers, hobbies, family traditions, and significant life events to create engagement. This person-centered approach enables residents to maintain their dignity and purpose throughout their journey.
Resources for Dementia Carers and Family Members
When should a person with dementia stop living alone? That’s one of the most difficult decisions families face, and we’re here to help. Living alone with dementia creates serious risks — from missed medications to wandering incidents to forgotten stoves left on.
Pegasus Senior Living offers caregiver resources for dementia, helping families make informed decisions about transitioning to memory care. We’ve shared useful articles on topics like recognizing the signs of Alzheimer’s, dementia communication techniques, and how to slow Alzheimer’s and dementia, but that’s just the beginning.
We also connect families with caregiver support groups, where they can learn coping strategies and find emotional support from others who truly understand. These gatherings help reduce isolation and offer practical advice for managing challenging behaviors, communication difficulties, and the emotional strain of witnessing a loved one’s transformation.
Our team also recommends educational resources that cover topics such as dementia progression, effective communication techniques, legal and financial planning, and self-care strategies for caregivers. Workshops and seminars bring in health care professionals who answer questions and provide current information about treatments and research.
If you Google “dementia resources near me,” you’ll find partnerships with local Alzheimer’s associations, health care providers, and community organizations. These networks give families the knowledge and confidence to move forward.
National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month Community Events
Each November, Pegasus Senior Living commemorates National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month with events that educate, inspire, and unite communities. These gatherings create opportunities for families to connect with dementia resources while celebrating the lives of those affected by memory loss.
Community events include memory walks, educational seminars featuring neurologists and geriatric specialists, art exhibits showcasing resident creativity, and fundraisers supporting Alzheimer’s research. Local businesses, health care providers, and advocacy organizations participate, creating a welcoming resource fair for families.
These events demonstrate Pegasus Senior Living’s commitment to the philosophy that “We celebrate and enhance all lives with kindness and integrity.” Our team members also work year-round to build community partnerships that extend support beyond the walls of memory care neighborhoods.
