Our staff are trained in assisting our memory care residents with prompting and cueing while still encouraging residents to be as independent as possible during mealtime. Meals are served in courses on specialized dinnerware designed purposefully for residents with cognitive impairment. We create modified menus for our memory care neighborhoods to promote a successful dining experience.

Our memory care programming follows an approach called My Day. Research shows that stimulating different parts of the brain during certain times of the day is most beneficial for the resident with dementia. We incorporate the concepts of mind, body, and spirit into our programming to ensure that all resident needs are being met. We think it is important to engage the resident as a whole person and utilize creative expressions such as art and music, cognitive stimulation, social gatherings, and spiritual activities. We utilize person-centered care to engage residents in reminiscing, including personalized stations and kits that focus on resident occupation, hobbies, and interests. See our activities calendar to learn more.

Our staff receives monthly in-service trainings at the community level as well as mandatory monthly online training courses.

Our egress doors are alarm activated.
