Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine if someone is ready for memory care?
It may be the right step when home no longer feels safe or daily routines have become too hard to manage. Signs can include wandering, confusion, or challenges keeping up with meals and medications.
What specialized services are available for residents with dementia or Alzheimer’s?
Our associates help with personal care, medication, meals, and routines, while encouraging independence whenever possible. Licensed nurses are also here for added support.
What types of activities do Memory Care residents enjoy?
Memory Care residents participate in thoughtfully planned experiences designed to encourage connection, creativity, and purpose. Programs may include seasonal celebrations, music performances, gardening, arts and crafts, and sensory activities tailored to each person’s interests and abilities. Visits from performers such as the Lehigh Valley Harmonizers and the Lehigh University Brass Quintet provide familiar music that encourages engagement while creating joyful moments for residents and their families.
Will families stay involved?
Yes. Families are an important part of our approach. We offer regular updates, support groups, and plenty of ways to stay connected.
How much does Memory Care cost and what is included in that price?
The cost of memory care varies depending on the type of apartment you choose and the level of support needed. At The Vero at Bethlehem, one monthly rate covers a private living space, daily meals, housekeeping, and personalized care. That includes help with bathing, dressing, and medications, plus access to enriching activities, monitored gathering spaces, and caring associates available day and night. Families also receive regular updates and opportunities to stay involved.
Do Memory Care associates have any specialized certifications or training?
Yes. Legend Senior Living is committed to providing advanced dementia education for our Memory Care teams. We require all Memory Care associates to go through the Certified Dementia Practitioner® (CDP®) training through the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners. Each Legend Memory Care community has multiple certified associates who have completed specialized training in person-centered dementia care, communication, behavior support, safety practices, and daily care strategies.
Can residents transition to Memory Care if needed?
Yes. If a resident’s needs change over time, they may be able to transition from Personal Care to Memory Care without leaving The Vero at Bethlehem. Remaining in a familiar environment with trusted associates and established relationships can provide comfort during the transition while ensuring residents receive specialized dementia support.
What is a Certified Dementia Practitioner® (CDP®)?
A Certified Dementia Practitioner® is a professional who has completed formal dementia care training and demonstrated knowledge of person-centered care practices. The certification equips caregivers with advanced skills to better support individuals living with dementia through effective communication, understanding behavioral changes, and providing meaningful daily care. It reflects a commitment to ongoing education and delivering a higher standard of dementia care.
