Encore Memory Care Day Center sits in a quiet neighborhood in Plano, Texas, and serves people from Collin, Dallas, Hunt, and Rockwall counties, giving a safe and comfortable place for adults dealing with memory issues like Alzheimer's, Lewy body dementia, Parkinson's disease dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and vascular dementia, and you'll notice it by its blue awning, large bay windows, and patio seating that make it feel home-like without overwhelming anyone, and walking in you'll see the rooms made to help those with memory challenges keep moving safely with wheelchair access, big bath tubs, accessible showers, and plenty of open space to reduce confusion or wandering, and the building stays secure to lower any worries about getting lost or hurt. Staff at this place know how to care for those who need memory help, offering kindness, love, and laughter while being licensed and trained, and they're there every day, with a nurse on duty to help with medication, blood sugar, and blood pressure when needed. Regular meals come from a registered dietitian, covering breakfast, lunch, and snacks, and they've got diabetic options and a hydration program to help keep folks healthy. They've earned an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and make sure the place meets strict standards for safety, customer service, and clear communication.
You'll find a full day of things to do, since the program runs from 7:30 in the morning to 6 in the evening, Monday through Friday, and that means there's always something worth doing, like live music, arts and crafts, pet therapy, Wii sports, games, music and dancing, Bible study, and exercise groups, and they celebrate birthdays and holidays every month too, which helps people feel like they're part of a community. People don't need to worry about getting to the center either, as there's a seven-mile transportation service area set up for attendees, and while they're there they can use the on-site barber and beauty shop if they want to. Everybody gets an individual care plan focused on memory care-whether they need ambulatory or incontinence care, between full-time day programming or respite stays, there's support to keep life stable and social, with plenty of chances to meet friends and try out favorite hobbies or something new. And with routine and structure as part of every day, plus activities made to boost memory and encourage independence, Encore Memory Care Day Center gives folks who need extra memory support a safe, caring place filled with the right blend of health, support, and things that make the days brighter.
