Proud to be an Authorized Validation Organization
Our community has been recognized by the Validation Training Institute for our dedication and commitment to caregiver training for residents with dementia.
Dignified Memory Care Rooted in Deep Purpose
Finding the right support for someone living with dementia is a journey that requires compassion and expertise. It’s our goal to support your family in this journey with compassion, respect, and deep empathy.
We believe every person deserves to be seen for who they are, and never just their diagnosis. We partner with your family to uphold their dignity through every interaction, and our specialized neighborhoods provide a secure, home-like environment where your loved one can find purpose and joy in every day.
What Is Memory Care?
Our Montessori Moments in Time™ program is built on profound respect for each individual, honoring their significant life stories and personal preferences. We provide residents with a positive, highly intentional community experience.
Our tailored Life Engagement programming seeks to reduce agitation and inspire comfortable conversation and activity. By understanding your loved one’s unique history and current abilities, our team identifies their needs, troubleshoots challenges, and gently validates feelings to create a more joyful and higher quality of life.
Montessori Moments in Time™
Who our residents are and the lives they’ve led are important elements in providing the best care. Before someone joins our community, we ask that families complete a Resident Life Story to provide our team with the information needed to offer a meaningful and customized experience.
Our Montessori Moments in Time™ program is based on our
Five Directional Paths to provide a holistic and respectful
experience for your loved one:
Life
