Azura of Oak Creek Dementia Series

November 20, 2018 No comments yet , , , , , ,


November is National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness and Family Caregivers Month. This month in particular helps bring to light the importance of Alzheimer’s awareness, education and support for those touched by this disease and the many who provide care to those affected. Azura Memory Care is proud to have worked with many exceptional partners throughout the year to provide free educational presentations to local family caregivers, healthcare professionals and the general public to help with this effort. 

This month, Azura of Oak Creek will be kicking-off its 3-Part Dementia Series welcoming two speakers from the dementia and elder care fields who will be sharing their insight on the disease, what to do when a diagnosis has been made and the new research initiatives happening right here in Wisconsin. 

Azura Memory Care of Oak Creek will be hosting all three events at the Oak Creek Public Library, located at 8040 S. 5th Street in Oak Creek, on  Thursday, November 29th, December 6th and December 13th from 6 to 7 p.m. Admission is free and attendees can come to any or all presentations. Refreshments will be provided and no reservations are required! Topics and speakers include:

Thursday, November 29th: Normal vs. Abnormal Aging

What is normal aging? If you can’t find your keys, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have dementia, but could it? Learn the difference and gain a better understanding of the natural process of aging and key components of the diagnosis of dementia.

  • Speaker: Dr. Piero Antuono, physician at the VA Medical Center, faculty of the University of Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center in Madison, professor of neurology and biophysics and the director of the Dementia Research Center at the Medical College of Wisconsin.

Thursday, December 6th: Understanding a Dementia Diagnosis

After a diagnosis of dementia, it is hard to understand what to do next. This presentation will provide insight into the different types of dementia, provide tips for enhancing communication between you and your loved one and where to go for further assistance.

  • Speaker: Dinah C. LaCaze, MBA, APSW, MCDOA-EA Prevention Coordinator Chap 55, Marcia Coggs Center

Thursday, December 13th: Advances in Dementia

There are many new research initiatives happening in the world of dementia right here in Wisconsin. Learn what avenues are being discovered that may benefit those living with the disease and those at risk, including nutrition and exercise.

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!
