Dementia Care in St. Louis County

Dementia is a general term for a variety of brain disorders such as Alzheimer's that affect a person’s ability to remember, learn and communicate. In the early stages, a person afflicted with dementia may be able to live independently. As the disorder progresses, the ability to perform daily tasks dwindles.

Garden View Care Center at Dougherty Ferry offers comprehensive and caring Alzheimer’s and dementia care in St. Louis County. We provide our residents more than just a secure building. We have a separate wing devoted specifically to those with dementia, and we are fully certified through the Alzheimer’s Association of St. Louis to train people who care for Alzheimer’s patients.

Our activity based dementia care program runs seven days a week and helps residents stay healthy and be happy. Research has shown that regular, engaging activity slows the mental decline of those with dementia. Each day our dementia patients take part in a number of activities such as music, dance and arts and crafts. They also enjoy day trips to various metro area attractions.

If you have a loved one showing the signs of dementia, call for a tour or request an in-home evaluation to determine the proper level of care needed. You can also attend one of our Transitions meetings to learn more about dementia brought on by Alzheimer’s disease.
