Caring for the elderly is a privilege that requires compassion and skill. For people with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia patients, proper care also includes constant attention. Adult children currently watching their parents forget know this to be true. Some also know that the safest place for their parents’ to spend their golden years is a senior living center with assisted care services. And families in Uniontown, Ohio; Hartville, Ohio; and other parts of Stark County, Ohio can find the kindness, healthcare, and watchful eyes their parents need at The Inn at Whitewood Village. The senior assisted living center in North Canton, Ohio provides a comfortable environment kept safe by a 24-hour vigil system.
People with Alzheimer’s disease, like dementia patients, experience good days and bad days. Each illness causes memory loss, interrupts thought processes, contributes to poor judgment, and can impair speech. Combined, these symptoms can cause sufferers to take unprecedented risks. And should people with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia patients be alone when they become overwhelmed with uncertainty in surroundings that suddenly seem unfamiliar, they can inadvertently harm themselves. In cases where family members are mistaken for strangers, they can harm others.
There are countless facts and statistics that contribute to an obvious truth – people with Alzheimer’s and dementia patients are safer in the care of professionals more often than not. It can be hard for family members filled with love and guided by good intentions to face this difficult truth. But as the staff at The Inn at Whitewood Village in North Canton can explain, love and good intentions cannot replace training and skill. For adult children of aging parents with careers and kids of their own, the occasional checks their schedules allow cannot replace constant monitoring either.
The 24-hour vigil system at The Inn at Whitewood Village can, however, keep constant watch. The system involves cameras placed in patients’ rooms, and it is a key part of the assisted care services at the senior living center. To afford elderly Moms from Uniontown and senior Dads from Hartville with privacy that doesn’t jeopardize their safety, the vigil system cameras are motion activated. That means falls and risky late night movements are instantly seen by healthcare professionals who can help.
