Over 90% of nursing home residents with dementia demonstrate a behavioral disturbance at least once. Alzheimer’s disease and its challenging behaviors are a growing issue that we as a society can do more to address. For this reason, Azura Memory Care supports the Alzheimer’s Task Force on Challenging Behaviors and the Alzheimer’s Association of Southeastern Wisconsin in its efforts to find solutions. A summary of their work was recently released.

"We want to thank you for the loving special care you took of our mother, Diane. It was truly mom's home and you all became part of our family. Everything was home for her....from the beautiful rooms, large sunny windows all around, good food made with love, fun and personal activities from people who really loved our mom. We would highly recommend your facility to anyone. The staff from the director, to the doctor, to the nurse, to the caregivers and the maintenance man were all extremely helpful, caring, loving and professional. There are not enough words to say how much we appreciate all of you. Your exceptional care, kindness, and love were beyond anything we could have imagined. You were part of our family, and we will miss you." - Gail Sommers and Deborah Guse
