ALZHEIMER'S CAREwe recognize
the special needs of people with Alzheimer's disease and other related
memory impairments. Our approach to caring for our residents with
memory loss is to understand and address all their emotional, mental
and spiritual needs as individual. It is our goal that our residents
with memory loss experience a happy and stress free life. Our administration and staff strongly encourage family involvement.

whoever is part of the resident's life. We work closely with the family and loved ones to ensure the
