Bella Mar Alzheimer's Care Center

Services & Care

At Bella Mar we attend to every aspect of the resident’s life (physical, social, emotional) with the goal of supporting or restoring feelings of self-esteem, dignity and success. Under the direction of a licensed nurse, with support and supervision of the resident’s primary physician and appropriate consultation of a geropsychiatric (MD) specialist, as needed the care team is well-prepared to offer state-of-the-art case management for each resident.

Each resident undergoes a thorough evaluation at the time of admission. Family members or other significant caregivers, along with the multidisciplinary team, design an individualized plan of care and therapeutic activities program that addresses each resident’s specific needs.

Monitoring of medications, careful observation of change in physical condition and/or behavior and appropriate modification of the care plan demonstrates Bella Mar’s sensitive responsiveness to the resident’s needs. Maximizing independence while maintaining safety is our commitment to the resident, the family and resident care team.

Social Events

Providing for our residents’ social and emotional needs is as important to us as looking after their physical well being. To meet those needs, Bella Mar starts by interviewing the family and resident to discover history and interests. Based on this information, enriching social activities are developed.
