Heartfelt CONNECTIONS - A Memory Care Program®

Heartfelt Connections logo with heart symbol and program description.

The Delaney is the only place for memory care in Waco, TX, to feature the renowned Heartfelt CONNECTIONS - A Memory Care Program® for those with Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias. This person-centered philosophy is grounded in the belief that the abilities that remain are far more important than those that are lost.

Our team employs reminiscence tools to help our residents’ family members and loved ones capture the details of residents’ lives—their careers, hobbies, likes and dislikes. We then apply the insights gained from each life story to create an individualized care plan that promotes physical and emotional well-being, prolongs daily functioning and maintains a sense of purpose, satisfaction and quality of life.

FAQs

What is the benefit of memory care vs. in-home care?
Memory Care at The Delaney provides a specially designed, whole-person approach to Alzheimer’s care and dementia care. Residents live in a warm and friendly, family-like neighborhood with the safety of 24-hour onsite security and the compassionate care of highly trained personnel who implement proven memory care programs that encourage and celebrate remaining abilities. It would be virtually impossible to duplicate this level of round-the-clock safety, sense of community and socialization, and specific expertise in Alzheimer’s care by using an in-home care service.
What type of activities are designed to engage residents with dementia or memory problems?
The memory care team of The Delaney is trained in the renowned Heartfelt CONNECTIONS - A Memory Care Program®. To learn more about the specifics of the program, its activities and how it is implemented to engage residents and promote their physical and emotional well-being, please download the brochure below.
How does memory care differ from assisted living?
While both assisted living and memory care provide assistance with the activities of daily living, such as help with bathing, dressing and grooming, medication management and personal maintenance, memory care at The Delaney offers a specific type of compassionate care that is specially designed for those with memory impairment. It’s called Heartfelt CONNECTIONS - A Memory Care Program®, and each member of our memory care team is trained in the program. In addition, memory care residents live in safe and secure “neighborhoods” to promote socialization, and each individual residence offers purposeful design touches, like memory boxes outside each door and custom closets that put each day’s outfit within easy reach.
