Enhanced Memory Support Suite
For those struggling with memory loss, Miriam Suite provides residents with caring
and structured communal living using the Best Friends Approach. A schedule of familiar
activities brings a comfortable continuity to each day, while a specially trained
staff of caregivers provides residents with consistent attention.
The Miriam Suite at the Robison Jewish Health Center is designed to accommodate
the special needs of Residents who: experience memory loss, have impaired judgment,
may wander, and could benefit from a more secure environment.
The Suite is a place where staff and families unite to support memory-impaired residents.
Together we support residents' struggles to remain in control of their lives with
dignity and respect. Although we know that residents of Miriam Suite will predictably
become more frail, we continue to affirm their lives offering, gentleness and appropriate
professional care.
Palliative Care
At Cedar Sinai Park we are called upon to provide quality care to residents who
face end of life. We recognize that this service involves intensive levels of medical,
social and spiritual support. When facing end of life issues we also place the residents
family at the center of our concern. Rather than expecting a cure we partner to
manage pain and discomfort and allow the family to have the emotional space in which
to say farewell. This treatment philosophy involves palliative care.
Palliative care seeks to prevent, relieve, reduce or soothe the symptoms of disease
or disorder without expecting a cure. It attends closely to the emotional, spiritual,
and practical needs and goals of residents and those close to them.
While we take pride in Cedar Sinai Park’s capacity to be a wonderful place to live,
we also take pride in providing the highest quality of care as residents face the
end of life.
