Compassionate Care for Memory Support
We understand the challenges associated with memory loss for individuals, their families and caregivers. That is why we are here to help navigate difficult decisions and find opportunities to harness strengths and enhance well-being at any stage of dementia.
Life Enrichment Programming
Residents enjoy all the amenities of Assisted Living with the added benefit of as much personal, memory-focused assistance as they need through our Assisted Living Memory Care’s Life Enrichment Memory Program (LEP).
Memory Care Framework
Our approach to Memory Care follows the habilitation model—joining residents within their reality for a supportive life of dignity and respect. The habilitation model, developed by Dr. Paul Raia of the Alzheimer’s Association and author Joanne Koenig Coste, provides the framework for understanding, communicating and interacting with those living with dementia.
Certified Memory Care
Several of our skilled nursing affiliates offer a higher level of Memory Care for those residents with Alzheimer’s disease, or related dementia, who require more assistance than offered in an Assisted Living setting. Our Alzheimer’s/dementia programs are designated as Certified Dementia Special Care units by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
