Valeo™ Memory Care by Agewell Solvere Living

Valeo is part of The Monarch’s Salus™ by AgeWell Solvere Living philosophy dedicated to those living with memory-related conditions. Latin for “to thrive,” Valeo aligns with our holistic approach to wellness, and our signature memory care program at The Monarch at Henderson is built on that foundation. 

Above all, our programming is designed to bring joy to the lives of individuals with memory-related conditions, such as dementia and Alzheimer’s. Every program is customized to each person’s strengths and provides opportunities to engage and pursue individual interests.

Create & Compose

Music and art can enrich the lives of those living with memory-related conditions, as both allow for self-expression and engagement. Studies have shown music may reduce agitation and improve behavioral issues commonly associated with dementia, while art can create a sense of accomplishment and purpose.

Beyond the health benefits, art and music are impactful ways to promote comfort and relieve stress. Create & Compose encourages residents of our memory care neighborhood in Henderson, NV, to take part in programs, including playing music and painting, that help them reap all benefits.

Legacy Kit

Our Legacy Kit program helps each resident and their family build a physical representation of the most important events and interests in a resident’s life.

From photographs and mementos to objects that embody a person’s experiences, each item opens up new opportunities to share stories, revisit those memories, and pass them on to children and grandchildren to preserve your loved one’s legacy.

Travel Times

Individuals living with dementia often find joy, connection, and engagement when they have new experiences with positive places. Travel Times facilitates that by giving residents the opportunity to travel to new or familiar, beloved places.

Creature Comforts

Interacting with animals has been proven to lower stress levels, improve mood, and increase social opportunities. There’s also evidence that bonding with animals can lower rates of heart disease, anxiety, and depression. 

Creature Comforts at The Monarch brings gentle animals, such as dogs and birds, into our memory care community, encouraging animal interactions in a safe, supportive environment.

VITA!

Routine and daily structure can help decrease dementia symptoms, such as aggression, restlessness, and agitation. VITA! builds on structure to enhance the physical and cognitive benefits of routines. 

At The Monarch, our wellness team uses VITA! to incorporate mental stimulation, like brain teasers, and physical activity, like exercise, into residents’ daily routines. We find that residents who regularly participate in VITA! experience a greater sense of calm throughout their day and are often more focused on positive self-care.

What is Memory Care?

Memory care communities are residential options offering specialized care and support for those living with memory-impairing conditions, such as Alzheimer’s and dementia. These communities provide a comfortable, low-stress environment with security features and design elements to promote safety and familiarity. 

While memory care falls under the umbrella of senior living, it’s important to note that it is not the same as assisted living. While both offer assistance with daily tasks and activities, memory care communities focus solely on those living with cognitive impairments. 

In addition, team members are on-site 24/7 to ensure resident safety and wellness. They understand the balance of encouraging residents to stay as independent as possible while providing the support they need.

What Are the Benefits of Memory Care?

For families considering a memory care community in Henderson, NV, it may be helpful to understand what can be gained from this type of care, such as:

  • Personalized care available 24/7
  • A secure setting for safety and peace of mind
  • Wellness opportunities that can help manage symptoms and slow the progression of dementia
  • Convenient access to various healthcare professionals
  • Improved diet and nutrition
  • Elimination of caregiving responsibilities so family members can return to their roles as son, daughter, spouse, etc.

When Is It Time to Consider Memory Care?

During the early stages of dementia, many individuals are able to remain living independently as symptoms are milder and have a lower impact on daily life. However, as dementia progresses and symptoms worsen, there will likely come a time when they can no longer live alone or need more constant support and attention. When that time comes, a memory care community can provide the necessary care and attention.

Symptoms and cognitive changes associated with dementia don’t follow a set timeline, so it can be challenging to know when additional care is needed. As a result, the right time to transition a family member to a memory care community is different for each individual and family. However, some circumstances can indicate that memory care may be the right next step: 

  1. A family member has received a mid to late-stage dementia diagnosis. Moving to a memory care community can offer more support when done earlier rather than waiting for symptoms to worsen.
  2. One or more family members are overwhelmed by caregiving responsibilities. Caring for a person with dementia is more than a full-time job, and not all families have the knowledge and time to provide 24-hour care.
  3. If you notice a decline in a parent or relative’s mental and physical health beyond normal age-related changes, or if you worry about their safety, it may be time to consider a memory care community.

What is the Cost of Memory Care in Henderson, NV?

The cost of memory care can vary depending on the community, location, and care. However, due to the specialized support, many memory care communities feature all-inclusive pricing, so individuals and families don’t have hidden charges or “extras.”
When you choose The Monarch at Henderson for someone you love, there is a one-time community fee of $2,500, which covers the cost of admission paperwork, preparing the apartment for move-in, and helping to maintain community spaces such as dining rooms, outdoor areas, and apartments. From there, our specialized Valeo™ memory care services are all-inclusive and start at $6,460.
