Stellar Memory Care: The Apollo Program

Stellar Living has a number of Memory Care Communities specifically designed for seniors with dementia and other memory loss disorders. Caring for someone with dementia and memory loss can be extremely difficult and challenging. Dementia is unfortunately a progressive condition, meaning it gets worse over time. Dementia can also be accompanied by personality changes, fits of anger, loss of physical control and abilities, and other challenges. All of this can be extremely difficult both for seniors with dementia and their loved ones. However, a person with dementia is still a person, and they can continue to maintain a good quality of life even in this difficult situation. That’s why Stellar created the Apollo program. Here, you’ll learn more about the Apollo program and what Stellar is doing to improve the lives of those with dementia. 

 

What Is the Apollo Program?

The Apollo program was created by Stellar Senior Living to craft a personalized, specific plan for memory care that is adapted to each individual. This program focuses on the person, not the disease, and puts each resident’s individuality and well-being at the forefront of all treatment. 

 

The Apollo program seeks to make each resident in memory care feel honored and valued, as they should be, rather than dismissed. 

 

How Does the Apollo Program Work?

This program includes several different approaches to memory care, including support and education for families, enrichment and activities, therapies and treatments to improve quality of life, and overall wellness. The Apollo way of life centers around Variety, Vitality, and Victory.

 

The Variety part of the Apollo Memory Care program helps residents feel honored with resort-style living that is anything but boring. Vitality means encouraging participants with lots of different activities to choose from each day, as well as companionship. Victory means a wellness plan created specifically for each individual to help them feel successful in life and positive about the future.

 

What About Support for Families?

Stellar knows that loved ones are a key part of any senior’s memory care journey. You can stay in touch with your loved one no matter where you are with LifeLoop, which gives you a daily record of what your senior is up to, along with photos and personalized email updates. You will also be contacted for regular care conferences to make sure your loved one is getting the very best care, and you can visit anytime!

 

Stellar communities also offer support groups and educational courses to help the families of those with dementia and memory loss. Guidance and education is always available to you.

 

What Does Apollo Memory Care Look Like?

 

A day in the Apollo Memory Care program is full of good things. Regularly scheduled activities (12+ per day) include fitness programs, cognitive maintenance activities, social events, and creative projects. Staff members have been rigorously trained in neurodegenerative diseases, communication strategies, care planning, and safety. They are there to assist your loved one every step of the way and provide personalized care and support. Three balanced, chef-prepared meals will be provided every day in a beautiful fine dining experience, along with snacks and treats. Each part of the Apollo program exists to make your loved one’s life as good as it can possibly be, and ensure they get the best possible care.
