Our Memory Care Program
We believe there’s a clear connection between the head and heart, and we use one to reach the other. We apply insights from each resident’s life story to develop an activity program for each resident. Activities are designed to promote physical and emotional well-being, and maintain a sense of independence, satisfaction, dignity and quality of life. We focus on each resident’s unique abilities and celebrate their successes.
