Care Types
Mind & Memory Care Levels
- Our Mind & Memory Plan is for residents whose care needs consist primarily of cueing and reminders. Residents are appropriate for our Mind & Memory Care Plan if they generally exhibit mild cognitive impairment and no or limited behaviors such as aggression or resistance to care.
- Our Mind & Memory I Plan is for residents whose care needs consist primarily of a minimal level of physical assistance with activities of daily living, and minimal levels of cognitive impairment.
- Our Mind & Memory II Plan is for residents whose care needs require a moderate amount of physical assistance with several activities of daily living, and who generally exhibit moderate cognitive impairment.
- Our Mind & Memory III Plan is for residents whose care needs require a substantial amount of physical assistance with several activities of daily living, and who generally exhibit severe cognitive impairment and/or associated behaviors.
- Our Mind & Memory IV Plan is for residents who have extensive needs, for example: a need for total care with one or more activities of daily living, or a substantial amount of assistance is warranted on a daily basis.
- Our Mind & Memory V Plan is for residents who need total assistance with all aspects of care, as well as usage of a mechanical or electrical lift for transfers on an ongoing basis. They may also require extensive emotional/behavioral support.
Personalized, needs-based care to support individual abilities
Person-centered care is critical to helping individuals with Alzheimer’s maintain their sense of self. Our tailor-made plan for each resident maximizes independence by empowering them to continue doing the activities they can while supporting them with the help they need. We also offer supportive services and advanced care capabilities to help our residents age well.
In addition to assistance with daily living, our residents participate in engaging, research-based holistic programs that have been tried and tested. Our community's signature is partnerships with local universities, which engage residents and students in activities that support brain health. Other programs that cater to our residents’ overall wellness include live musical performances and our men’s choir, community service projects and backroad trips to local attractions.
