Memory Care

Tempus: The Claiborne’s Signature Dementia Care Program

Tempus is The Claiborne’s dynamic and engaging approach to providing care for our residents living with dementia. Dementia is an umbrella term for several diseases affecting memory, other cognitive abilities and behavior, such as Alzheimer’s, Lewy Body, etc…. The name Tempus is Latin for time. Individuals living with dementia often live in their own reality, on their own timeline. In Tempus, that’s where we will meet them.

Ensuring Safety of Your Loved Ones

You might think that falls, ER visits and hospitalizations are an unexpected, inevitable result of getting older. You might think it’s especially true for those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. But the truth is that many of these events are frequently predictable and avoidable. Changes in the way you walk or how you sleep may indicate an increased risk of illness or injury. With the right access to detailed, accurate and timely information, we can see what’s happening sooner and take steps to prevent a potentially tragic event from occurring.

Increased wellness checks mean improved well-being

SafelyYou Aware™ offers remote, nighttime, hourly wellness checks to help reduce risk for your loved one during the most vulnerable overnight hours, and empowers care staff to help prevent incidents before they occur. We offer SafelyYou Aware™ because sleep disturbances are a leading reason families turn to senior living, and they can begin a cycle of health deterioration for seniors. Now, our staff can better see and understand these disturbances—and meet the unmet needs that are causing them—helping your loved one get more restful sleep, reducing their risk, and improving their well-being.
