The Benefits of Companion Living in Memory Care at WestMark Senior Living
At WestMark Senior Living in San Antonio, TX, we understand how important it is for families to find compassionate care and a supportive environment for loved ones living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. That’s why our community offers Companion Living in Memory Care—a unique option that blends personalized support with the comfort of companionship.
Companion Living means two residents share a thoughtfully designed suite within our secure, engaging Memory Care neighborhood. This option provides meaningful benefits for residents and peace of mind for families across San Antonio.
1. Reduces Loneliness and Builds Connection
Isolation can increase feelings of anxiety or confusion for individuals with dementia. With Companion Living, residents share their days with a roommate—enjoying conversations, laughter, and daily companionship.
Research confirms the importance of social connection. A Johns Hopkins University study found that older adults experiencing high levels of isolation had a 30% greater risk of dementia over nine years. Meanwhile, a Rush University Medical Center study showed that regular social activity reduced dementia risk by 38%. Companionship isn’t just comforting—it can truly make a difference for cognitive health.
2. Encourages Daily Engagement
At WestMark, we believe in the power of meaningful activity. Residents in Companion Living suites often participate more in our programs—whether it’s art, music, fitness, or spiritual life—because they share the experience with a friend. A roommate’s encouragement often sparks greater involvement.
3. Promotes Safety and Comfort
Families feel reassured knowing their loved one is never alone. While our caring team provides 24/7 supervision, having a roommate adds another layer of comfort and companionship—especially for those who may feel anxious at night or need extra reassurance.
4. A More Affordable Option for Families
Cost is often a deciding factor in choosing Memory Care. Companion Living offers families in San Antonio and Bexar County a more affordable option without compromising the quality of care or support their loved one receives.
5. Supports a Fuller Life
From meals to activities to quiet moments, Companion Living adds connection and meaning to everyday life. Our residents thrive when surrounded by friendship, routine, and compassionate care.
