Each caregiver participates in a virtual dementia tour each year. This virtual tour alters the senses of the user to create confusion and disorientation to help them understand what our residents are going through. Combined with monthly training and ongoing professional development, our caregivers are not only experienced but compassionate and caring.
Our staff works to get to know each resident on an individual level. It all starts with the life story, completed by residents or their family members. This tells us about the resident’s life history, where they have lived, their family members, if they have served in the military, and other life facts. Each resident also has a “54 Things About Me” document that is consistently updated by our caregivers as we learn more about your loved one. This document helps us understand what motivates your loved one, how they like to operate, and activities they like or don’t! Our care is truly customized and adapted to meet your loved one where they are and help them live purpose-driven and intentional lives, even as dementia progresses.

Our signature PrimeFit program focuses on the unique physical abilities of each resident in both group and private sessions. We take into consideration the preferences and life story of our residents to create active moments throughout the day.
By providing a range of activities like picnics in the park, nature preserves, or live music at the community, our residents have the opportunity to experience the very things that have had importance to them their entire lives while also cultivating new experiences and interests.
Because spirituality means different things to different people, we draw from the life story of our residents to provide daily opportunities to practice meaningful spirituality in ways that are important to each resident.
Activities that elicit expression and provide sensory stimulation, like drawing, clay sculpting, or flower arranging are just a few of the ways residents can express themselves creatively each and every day.
Our goal is to offer daily opportunities for residents to complete tasks with a purpose. We find that tasks, like watering plants or helping the staff, become quite meaningful for residents.
We know that individuals living with a diagnosis of dementia often experience and express themselves through the five senses. The Opal program provides daily opportunities for our residents to positively interact in our community through what they see, hear, touch, taste, and smell.
