We know familiarity means everything to a person with Alzheimer's and other dementias. Routine comforts and familiar joys reassure and help make each day a good day. We accomplish this familiarity and comfort with our team of Care Partners who are specially educated in the best practices for caring for those with memory care needs. While our Care Partners help residents with the activities of daily living, they also engage residents to participate in the activities . . . like preparing breakfast together or making the bed together … just like at home. The same Care Partner may also take the resident out for a walk, or spend time doing laundry with him or her, to keep the resident engaged and active.

The result: less confusion, more genuine bonding and sharing and a more family-style neighborhood feeling.

We engage residents with meaningful, personalized programs and reminisce with photographs, music, gardening or baking to create those warm, cherished feelings.
