Alzheimer's Care
Because caring for a person with memory loss and cognitive dysfunction is difficult, we have created a unique living arrangement providing warmth, support, and the highest level of care performed by nurturing caregivers specially trained in Alzheimer's disease and other related dementias. With private accommodations, an enclosed courtyard, pleasurable dining experiences, and specialized daily activities, loved ones can rest assured that these cherished residents will receive all the personal care and attention to help them achieve a sense of acceptance and validation.
Providing the level and high quality of care necessary for a memory-impaired individual to live a meaningful life is a shared responsibility. We believe family members and dear friends are caring and supportive partners in our efforts to preserve the self-esteem of our residents. Your participation in a plan of care coupled with our dedication to provide the necessary assistance is essential to maintaining the resident's health and well-being, helping them meet the challenges of daily living.
