Frequently Asked Questions

What is memory care, and how does it differ from traditional assisted living or nursing homes?

Memory care programs are secured environments designed to support maintaining a safe, homelike environment for persons living with Alzheimer’s or related dementias. The programming is person-centered to maximize independence and support a routine in keeping with a lifestyle, leisure pursuits, and preferences.

All residents are treated as individuals and their plans of care are developed specifically to meet their needs and goals. The team creates an environment of support by using validation techniques to reduce stress and to meet each person in their reality.

Programming includes a “flow of the day” that supports a daily “rhythm” that fosters stability for the residents. Recreational programming includes life skills, reminiscence/cognitive stimulation, exercise, creative arts, music, wellness programs, and much more…
