When a loved one receives a dementia diagnosis, next steps may feel daunting. But having the right resources and knowledge makes the path ahead less overwhelming. At Havenwood of Richfield, we’re committed to offering compassionate memory care so that seniors and families receive comfort, dignity, and support through every stage of dementia—right here in Minnesota.
Understanding the specific type and progression of dementia is a vital next step. Early awareness helps create a personalized care plan that preserves independence, promotes quality of life, and prepares everyone for future changes. Whether in the early stage—where independence is still largely maintained—or in the later stages that require round-the-clock care, having a structured plan offers peace of mind and consistency.
Selecting the right memory care community also makes a meaningful difference. Our dedicated caregivers are specially trained in dementia care practices and create individualized support plans for each resident. Through programs like our Heartfelt Connections—A Memory Care Program®, residents engage in purposeful activities designed to celebrate strengths, encourage connection, and enhance daily life. Families can feel confident knowing their loved ones are surrounded by a safe, homelike environment built on both compassion and expertise.
We believe quality dementia care is focused on creating joy and connection in everyday moments, alongside the medical aspects. Want more practical steps after a dementia diagnosis, or to learn how our team supports families through them all? Check out our full article.
