ColorScapes is our model of care for residents with Alzheimer’s disease or any other form of dementia. ColorScapes uses assessment tools and program guides to gauge the extent of a resident’s ability and classifies the resident according to a color scale that each caregiver refers to. ColorScapes provides a consistent daily routine with "Failure Free" positive experiences, allowing residents to maintain their independence in activities of daily living for as long as possible.
Diabetic Neuropathy is a condition that affects circulation, causing a person to lose feeling or sensation in a body part such as the foot, hand or leg. This condition can also cause skin ulcers that are painful and slow to heal.
For many individuals, Anodyne Therapy provides relief from these conditions. It can help avoid ulceration and amputation, and even help improve balance.
Anodyne Therapy uses infrared energy to treat diabetic neuropathy. This energy is safe and non-invasive, delivered through flexible pads placed on the skin. Energy is transmitted through light that helps increase blood flow and helps heal the affected area.
The benefits, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association, include:
Improved Sensation – The vast majority of patients in the study regained protective sensation after receiving Anodyne Therapy.
Reduced Risk of Amputation – The researchers found improving sensation reduces the risk of an eventual foot ulceration or amputation.
Improved Balance -- When sensation is restored it may assist in improving balance and reduce the incidence of falls.
Improved Circulation – Clinical research demonstrated that Anodyne treatment improved circulation in neuropathic feet.
Pain Reduction -- The Anodyne Therapy system has been effective in relieving pain in some patients.
