The Lamp Memory Care Center offers assisted living and dedicated memory care for people with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, with space for up to 28 residents, and the staff there gives 24-hour support to help with bathing, dressing, medication, and daily activities, so residents don't have to worry about cooking, cleaning, or upkeep. The team supports different levels of care, with options like senior apartments, condos, or townhomes, and there's a focus on personal needs, which means care plans get tailored to every person. The facility includes well-kept bedrooms and living spaces that let people relax or gather for activities, and there's a garden, walking paths, an arts room for creative work, and movie nights too. Meals come with all-day dining and can be changed for health needs like diabetes or allergies, and there's always help available for transfers, incontinence care, and non-ambulatory residents. Emergency alert systems, on-call support, and a 24-hour call system help staff stay close by, and the care extends to medical and non-medical needs, including companion care and help for diabetic and memory-impaired residents.
The Lamp Memory Care Center was the first in Maine to bring in weekly virtual reality therapy, with special headsets and programs by MYND VR that can take residents on trips or calm them with nature scenes or pet videos, and the staff's trained for safe use of this new technology, which sometimes even reduces the need for medications and helps nonverbal residents communicate. Residents can spend time in the dining room, lounges, or outdoor spaces, and the facility holds resident-run activities and community events, including exercise, live entertainment, devotional gatherings, and day trips offsite. Rooms have phones, and services like housekeeping, laundry, and even dry cleaning keep things simple. The center puts a lot of effort into security for people who might wander, and the environment's set up to be homey and comfortable, with spaces built for social time, rest, or quiet. There's a house salon and barber, transportation for outings, and a team dedicated to the physical, social, and spiritual needs of everyone there.
