The Morning Blend: Engaging Older Adults with Dementia
Justine Barton goes live on Milwaukee’s TMJ4 and dives into Azura’s MOSAIC philosophy of care and the small steps taken to pay attention to the details in all of our residents. Dementia can show itself differently in everyone, and it’s important to know about your residents on a more personal level to find out why they do what they do. Older adults living with dementia don’t want to be a bother to anyone, and want to feel like they need to help. Justine talks about tips for diverging tasks giving loved one’s a purpose.
MOSAIC Dreams – Judy’s Bucks Grand Dancer Dream
Judy is a resident at Azura of Fox Point. For as long as anyone can remember, Judy has always been the biggest Bucks fan – and never misses a game!
When Judy isn’t watching the Bucks game, you can find her out in our community room participating in exercise, crafts, and any other events our Quality of Life team is putting on. We have noticed that one of her favorite activities is dancing – that lady can move! So, to make Judy’s best day ever come true, we contacted the Bucks Grand Dancers to put on a special show for Judy at our assisted living and memory care home in Fox Point!
On Tuesday, March 29th at 3 PM, the Grand Dancers came to our home to not only put on a show for Judy, but also let her dance with them in a few of their routines! They actually were so impressed by Judy’s moves when we were organizing this, that they offered her to join them at Fiserv Forum for a REAL show!
Huge thank you to the Grand Dancers and everyone who took part in making Judy’s dream come true!
MOSAIC Dreams – Charlie’s Pipe Dream

My father has been here only a little over 2 months. The positive change in him has been DRAMATIC! I would HIGHLY recommend Azura........ I would give it 10 stars if they allowed it! This is the premier facility for any family member with cognitive issues! They do treat residents like family, believe it!

Azura memory care enhances the quality of life of each resident! Their activity department goes above and beyond to provide the perfect themes and topics geared to each residents specific likes. They do a wonderful job creating theme weeks and transitioning Azura with amazing decorations, to make them feel like they are their. One theme was France, they made a gondola had the residents and staff dress up and enjoy French cuisine. They really make your loved one feel special and included. Love seeing all the laughter and smiling faces:)

We want to thank you for the loving special care you took of our mother, Diane. It was truly mom's home and you all became part of our family. Everything was home for her....from the beautiful rooms, large sunny windows all around, good food made with love, fun and personal activities from people who really loved our mom. We would highly recommend your facility to anyone. The staff from the director, to the doctor, to the nurse, to the caregivers and the maintenance man were all extremely helpful, caring, loving and professional. There are not enough words to say how much we appreciate all of you. Your exceptional care, kindness, and love were beyond anything we could have imagined. You were part of our family, and we will miss you.

Just moved my sister-in-law to Azura Stoughton on February 12th. I feel like I’ve found a little piece of dementia heaven. The staff has gone way beyond my expectations to meet her needs and take time to know her. Anyone who has dementia deserves the TLC they receive at Azura. I’m so impressed.

Thank you to the Azura Memory Care team, Sheboygan location for the amazing, loving care they provided my dad. They truly loved and cared for my dad as if he was their own. It is such a warm, loving, family environment I only wish we would have moved my dad there years earlier!

I have enjoyed working with patients at Azura Care as a Physical Therapist Assistant. The staff has been very helpful in sharing important information about the patients to make their therapy sessions as productive as possible. They are open to learning techniques to help keep patients safe and improve their ability to perform daily tasks with less assistance. Their interactions with patients show caring and compassion with a focus on the needs of each individual to enjoy the best quality of life possible.

The journey of caregiving for my Aunt started over 4 years ago. It has been a very long difficult journey. It is hard to watch and frustrating to watch a loved one decline, as well as for them to live the decline. My Aunt found her final peace at Azura Memory Care in Sheboygan. It was not only her peace but mine as well. I no longer had to worry about her care as I could see that she was loved by her Azura family. She passed away on June 21 and they knew how important that it was for me to be there, but I also found peace that if I was not there, she was with family that loved her. No words can express the appreciation for the care, compassion and love that they have for all their residents. God has opened many doors through my journey and the doors at Azura were truly a gift from God. This family made a difference in a long journey. I will always have them in my thoughts and prayers. They are where and doing what they are meant to do!
