Honoring Families & Advancing Care at Melody Living Memory Care in Lake in the Hills

When Alzheimer’s or dementia touches our families, it’s not just the individual who feels the impact; it reverberates through everyone who loves them. In Illinois, over 220,000 residents are living with Alzheimer’s, and more than 316,000 Illinoisans are providing unpaid care. On National Grief Awareness Day (August 30), we acknowledge and honor the complex emotions of loss, love, frustration, and hope that families experience during this journey.

Compassionate, Best-in-Class Care for Residents & Families

At Melody Living’s Memory Care neighborhood in Lake in the Hills, our commitment to Best-in-Class care includes:

• 24/7 on-site licensed nursing, a commitment other communities in the area can’t match.
• A dedicated Health & Wellness Director, Assistant Director, and Memory Care Director, ensuring personalized oversight.
• A secure, thoughtfully designed one-of-a-kind Bridge Program (for residents with mild cognitive impairment) led by a Certified Dementia Practitioner.

Grief Is Real. Support Is Available.

Families may feel grief when loved ones no longer recognize them or behave as before. Know that you’re not alone. At Melody Living we offer:

• Quality expert care team helps ease transitions, offering dignity and respect every step of the way.
• We encourage open conversation, facilitating family education through events and support networks.
• Our neighborhood's design and sensory-rich engagement help reduce anxiety for residents and foster meaning for families.

Supporting Illinois Families & Advocating for Change

The Alzheimer’s Association Illinois Chapter provides resources far beyond our walls: helplines, support groups, education, and brain health initiatives. We encourage families to connect with them for broader advocacy and support.

At Melody Living, we elevate that commitment:

• Hosting memory conversations and educational programs.
• Integrating families into the care journey through tours and guidance.
• Embedding a Collaborative CARE Review process that aligns all staff, from housekeeping to chefs, to recognize changes and improve care.

Hope, Healing & Community

This August 30, as we elevate awareness around grief, we also celebrate the bonds that endure love, story, and compassion. In our premier community, every resident is seen, every family supported, and every moment matters.
