Dementia Care Services in Maryland

At Cedar Creek, person-centered dementia care means each resident receives an individualized care plan tailored to their history, preferences, and stage of dementia. Our caregivers learn each resident’s routines, interests, and life story — from favorite meals to cherished music — creating a supportive environment where residents feel valued. This approach reduces confusion and anxiety while fostering emotional well-being.

Caregivers use reminiscence therapy, looking through photo albums or discussing past hobbies, to forge meaningful connections. As needs change, we adjust care plans to ensure your loved ones receive consistent, personalized support. The Alzheimer’s Association recommends familiarizing residents with memory care routines to improve their quality of life. Cedar Creek’s methods align with these best practices, assuring your loved one receives effective, compassionate dementia care.

Cedar Creek’s residential dementia care offers an intimate alternative to larger dementia care units. Each residence houses a small group — typically just eight — creating a warm, family-like atmosphere. Residents enjoy cozy living rooms, shared home-cooked meals, and safe, secure outdoor spaces for fresh air and sunshine.

Cedar Creek homes are thoughtfully designed to support residents with dementia, featuring easy-to-navigate hallways, soft lighting, and secured doors that balance safety with freedom of movement. Families are encouraged to personalize their loved one’s room with meaningful mementos, creating a comforting and familiar environment.

Dementia experts agree that familiar, cozy spaces can help reduce agitation and confusion, making residents feel more at ease. Cedar Creek offers comprehensive dementia care within a genuine home environment.

Cedar Creek offers all-inclusive dementia care services designed to meet your loved one’s evolving needs, including:

• Assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). We help with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and mobility, promoting independence while ensuring safety.
• Medication management. We handle medication scheduling and administration, alleviating families’ concerns about missed doses.
• Nutrition and meals. We provide home-cooked meals tailored to each resident’s dietary needs, such as diabetes management and modified texture diets. While diet can’t cure dementia, good nutrition may help slow cognitive decline.
• Housekeeping and laundry. We maintain a clean, comfortable environment, allowing your family to focus on meaningful moments during their visit.
• Medical coordination. Cedar Creek coordinates on-site visits from physicians, nurses, hospice services, and therapists, providing medical support for residents with dementia in familiar surroundings.

As your loved one’s condition progresses, Cedar Creek adjusts care services to meet evolving needs, helping families avoid the stress of relocation. Our all-inclusive, transparent pricing makes it easier to focus on time together rather than the details of care management.

Dementia senior living should include opportunities for joy and purpose, so we help residents enjoy a meaningful daily life with activities tailored to their interests and abilities. We adapt memory care activities for each individual to promote engagement, reduce agitation, and foster belonging within our communities.

Activities include:

• Reminiscence therapy: Conversations and memory games encourage sharing stories and recalling long-term memories.
• Music and art therapy: Singing familiar songs and creating art stimulates residents’ memories and stokes their creativity.
• Exercise and movement: Chair exercise, walking, and other active games can improve your loved one’s mobility and physical health.
• Social events: Birthdays and holidays, game nights, and community interactions reduce feelings of isolation so residents with memory loss can experience connection and joy.
