Our Memory Care experts know each resident’s Life Story. They know each resident’s history, accomplishments, preferences and passions. They know how to interact with them, they respect the person they were, and they know how to connect and care for them.

How do we make this happen?

We talk with you and your loved one and learn about likes and dislikes, what they love to do, what they’ve accomplished, hobbies they enjoy, and even what their favorite foods are. We take the time to learn what makes them smile.

When the interview is complete we build a personalized, comprehensive Life Story for your loved one. Each story becomes an actionable guide for families, residents and caregivers.

We help your loved one thrive in an environment that recognizes what makes each resident an individual and knows how to apply their customized Life Story to their daily plan of care to keep them happy, active, engaged and healthy.

We invite family participation and provide opportunities for family education and support.

How does this work in practice?
