Those
with Alzheimer's disease and similar illnesses are in good hands
at The Timothy M. Breidegam Center at Diakon’s The Lutheran
Home at Topton.
The Breidegam
assisted living center feels like home, and is thoughtfully designed
for the unique needs of residents with Alzheimer's and related illnesses.
The physical design of the center promotes safety without curtailing
independence, and includes secure indoor and outdoor activity areas.
Dedicated professionals with advanced experience in dementia care
provide specialized care and therapeutic activities that stimulate
memories, foster self-esteem and help residents to maintain abilities
and independence.
Helping hearts
The Breidegam
Center is ideal for those who need assistance with daily activities
of living, such as dressing, bathing, diet, assistance with medications,
and helpful memory- and activity-related cues from a caring and
experienced staff. A therapeutic activity program is provided seven
days a week, helping to engage Breidegam residents in the life of
the retirement community.
Our spacious
semi-private rooms, each with a bathroom, provide plenty of space
to call home. We encourage decorating with
personal furniture and items. Comfortable sofas on “indoor
proches” invite residents to relax and talk with neighbors,
while an activity room and enclosed courtyard offer residents plenty
of opportunities to be involved in campus life. Three meals per
day are served in a bright and welcoming dining room.
Each resident room is equipped with a 24-hour call system, with
on-site staff available round the clock. The adjacent Henry Health
Care Center provides the security and convenience of health care
services right on campus, including doctors' offices, a pharmacy,
a comprehensive rehabilitation therapy department, and memory-supportive
services. In addition, numerous health-related personnel and services
are offered on site, including geriatric-certified physicians, dentist,
podiatrist, audiologist, opthalmologist, optometrist, consulting
dietitian, and select Medicare lab and x-ray testing.
