Memory Care Services at Capstone Royal Palm: Amenities for Seniors

Does your older loved one experience memory-related problems, such as dementia? If so, please know that you (and they) are not alone. Such conditions are common, but high-quality, compassionate memory care services are available through outstanding senior living communities like The Capstone at Royal Palm in Royal Palm Beach, FL.

As the U.S. CDC explains, about 6.9 million American adults 65 and older live with dementia. The agency further notes that nearly half of adults 40 and above think they'll likely develop this condition.

To that end, the team at The Capstone at Royal Palm put together this guide to share insights into our community's nationally recognized memory care in Royal Palm Beach, FL. Read on to discover the many amenities and services it includes that make it an excellent option for your loved one.

A Nationally Recognized Memory Care Program Curriculum

At The Capstone at Royal Palm, we take pride in our dementia and memory support living program, "SHINE® Memory Care." We're proud of it not just because it's effective, but also because the Alzheimer's Association® has recognized it.

What Is the Alzheimer's Association®?

The Alzheimer's Association® is a widely recognized, authoritative leader on Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia care and research. It's a voluntary, not-for-profit organization led by professionals and experts on these memory-related conditions and progressive brain disorders.

What Makes SHINE® Memory Care Shine?

The Capstone at Royal Palm's SHINE® program is a person-centered approach to dementia and memory care. It uses science-based theories and strategies designed to enhance the following aspects of a person living with memory-related conditions, including AD and other dementias:

• Understanding
• Engagement
• Overall quality of life

A key element of SHINE® is the exploration course we chart for each memory care community resident. It highlights critical features of a resident's life and lets us determine how to work on them.

SHINE® aims to restore specific aspects of a resident's life that their condition adversely affects. It also seeks to preserve other parts that still go and do well. So, with this program, you can rest assured that your loved one with AD, dementia, or other memory-related problems will receive only top-notch care in the hands of kind, caring professionals.

The recognition that the Alzheimer's Association® has given our SHINE® Memory Care program is a testament to the good we do in our community to empower seniors to age gracefully, including our:

• High-quality senior living services
• Compassionate care
• Personalized dementia and Alzheimer's support

It's also worth noting that we share this recognition with only a small group of elite memory care service providers in the country.

Supervised Care From Experienced and Compassionate Experts

At The Capstone at Royal Palm, SHINE® Memory Care program members receive supervised care from a team of memory care professionals. Rest assured that they are already highly experienced. However, they undergo continued specialized training and education to ensure:

• Our program remains up-to-date on the latest science-based approaches
• Continued improvements in the quality of care we provide
• Enhanced staff confidence
• A more supportive, loving environment for residents with dementia

Continued training and education on AD and other dementias are crucial, given that experts don't know everything about these conditions, so research on them is ongoing.

For instance, an NBC News article reported that a new study published in January 2025 in the journal Nature Medicine estimates a higher risk of developing dementia. Older studies projected that 23% of women and 14% of men would develop dementia at some point. However, the new research estimates it at 42% for both women and men.

Well-Appointed Memory Care Suites

Memory care residents can choose from private and companion suites at The Capstone at Royal Palm. We've designed them to feel warm and welcoming so seniors can feel at home. They have various amenities for comfort, convenience, and to promote a sense of autonomy, including:

• Large, private bathrooms
• Walk-in showers
• Kitchenettes
• Granite kitchen countertops
• Custom cabinetry
• Stainless-steel appliances with energy-efficient features

Gourmet Meals Served in a Calm Dining Environment

Gourmet dining is among the many dementia care amenities at The Capstone at Royal Palm. Our team carefully prepares delicious meals from scratch using fresh ingredients packed with nutrients for optimal health. We serve them in a calm dining environment so residents enjoy every morsel.

Highly Engaging Purpose-Driven Activities

At The Capstone at Royal Palm, memory care residents enjoy access to a daily calendar of activities that stimulate their minds and bodies. They are purpose-driven, with some being one-on-one while others are in small groups. We adapt them to each resident's attention spans, capabilities, and schedules.

Some of the fun, engaging, and enriching activities in our memory care community in Royal Palm Beach, FL, are:

• Exercises and light sporting events
• Arts and crafts
• Crossword puzzles, riddles, and trivia
• Entertainment, including karaoke and movies
• Games like bingo and Wheel of Fortune

Community Spaces That Foster Connections

Socialization can be especially crucial for seniors with memory-related problems, as it can:

• Help combat loneliness and isolation
• Provide cognitive stimulation
• Offer a sense of purpose and belonging

The Alzheimer's Association also points out an association between social engagement and reduced disability and mortality rates. It may also reduce depression risk.

For those reasons, our senior living community provides residents access to communal spaces for socialization and interaction. They include:

• The Great Room, where residents can kick back and relax
• The Bistro, with fresh snacks and beverages available throughout the day
• A state-of-the-art fitness center
• Community dining rooms
• A sunroom, gardens, and an outdoor gazebo
• A dog park

For seniors who need assistance navigating their day or have questions about the community amenities, our friendly concierge is happy to help.
