When a loved one begins to show signs of memory loss, the path forward can feel overwhelming, especially for a caregiver or loved one. That’s where Sun Health’s Memory Care Navigator (MCN) program steps in—offering guidance, compassion, and practical solutions during uncertain times.
When Jerry’s care needs outgrew what his wife of 70 years, Dolores, could manage at home, the family turned to Sun Health’s Memory Care Navigator. Their daughter, Sue, worked closely with the MCN through several consultations and the creation of a care plan for Jerry. This time allowed them to explore placement options, navigate financial concerns, and get emotional support throughout a difficult transition.
Ultimately, the family chose Grandview Terrace, a Sun Health Life Care community, where staff are specially trained in Dementia Capable Care, as a spot to move. With the MCN’s ongoing support, even attending Jerry’s first lunch in memory care to help him settle in, the transition became more manageable.
Now, Jerry is thriving in his new home, and his family continues to find strength through support groups and regular MCN check-ins.
“We are so grateful to the navigator, Michelle, who connected us to valuable resources and has remained in contact with us regularly. The program has truly been a lifesaver,” said Sue.
This is just one example of the life-changing impact the Memory Care Navigator program can have, but there are countless families walking a similar path. With your support, we can continue providing guidance, comfort, and vital resources to those facing memory loss and to the loved ones who care for them.
Because this service is offered at no cost, every gift makes a meaningful difference. Together, we can ensure families never have to navigate this journey alone.
