Memory Care in Myrtle Beach, SC

– Brightwater –

At Reflections at Brightwater, we understand how difficult it can be having a loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia. While we can’t control life’s challenges or reverse the course of memory-impairing illnesses, our Myrtle Beach Memory Care community can go a long way in helping ease the burdens. With a team of specialized caregivers and a supportive community environment, our person-centered approach focuses on the individual and their unique life experiences.

All-Inclusive Monthly Pricing

We believe that you shouldn’t have to worry about various “levels of care” or “points” charges, which are popular at many Memory Care communities. Under this type of pricing model, your rate could increase at any moment, without any notice, just because you receive more care. Brightwater charges one all-inclusive monthly fee, which includes all of your care, no matter how much you need. That’s because we want billing to be the least of your worries.

At our community, you pay one rate for all your care while in Memory Care.

Yes, that includes medication management, Personal transportation, 24-hour emergency call system and more.

How Memory Care Works

At Reflections, we promote member well-being through customized, person-centered care. Our Certified Dementia Practitioners focus on each member’s current situation as well as their background, relationships and life story. Understanding the full picture is essential because it helps inform care that is both comprehensive and personalized.

Our nurturing caregivers guide members through their daily routines by offering support in any areas where they have difficulty and promoting independence wherever possible. To encourage active minds, caregivers regularly engage members in activities based around memory, reasoning and information processing. This helps them hold onto cognitive abilities for as long as possible. The routines we establish create an important level of predictability for members, and this leads to a stronger sense of dignity and purpose.

Another way we provide industry-best care is by offering facilities that are specially designed by experts in Alzheimer’s and dementia. Our building interiors offer a bright, colorful and easily-maneuverable environment to help reduce stress and confusion, and our doors are fully secured to keep members who wander safe.

WAVES

WAVES received the Best of the Best Award from Argentum, the nation’s largest senior living association, celebrating its outstanding achievements in Alzheimer’s programming. WAVES is an aquatic-based experience, led in our heated indoor therapy pool, giving our Members a safe and fun way to exercise.

  • The combination of warm, therapeutic water and low-impact aerobic activity can reduce anxiety and stress while providing a healthy outlet for excess energy.
  • Members who participate in the program may enjoy improved strength & balance, appetites, better sleeping patterns and a stronger bond with their caregivers.
  • We do things differently here, and we don’t settle for ordinary outcomes.
  • We believe everyone can live a higher quality of life with wellness.

Customized, Person-Centered Dining

Depending on the stage of Alzheimer’s or dementia they are at, members can have a wide variety of dietary needs. Because of this, we offer a range of dining options. Some members have very little difficulty eating and can be given traditionally-prepared food, while others need more adaptive options such as bite-sized or pureed portions. Our community’s onsite dietician assesses the needs of each member and creates them a customized dining and nutrition plan. When it comes to this lifelong task that brings so many dementia patients difficulty, Reflections at Brightwater seeks to bring the joy back to eating.
