Overview of Staff and Training

Our community is dedicated to memory care, ensuring all staff undergo Alzheimer's and dementia specific training. This includes learning techniques such as redirection and de-escalation. Our team comprises Certified Nursing Aids, Certified Medication Technicians, Nurses, Activity Assistants, House Keepers, and a culinary team led by an Executive Chef.

Safety and Well-being Measures

To ensure the safety of our residents, all exterior doors have key codes accessible only to staff, with secondary gates or doors for added security. Visitors must sign in and out, and motion sensors in resident rooms alert staff to any movement at night. Emergency pull cords are installed throughout the facility.

Transition Support Services

We offer a variety of support services to aid residents' transition into our community, including monthly support groups for families of current and former residents.

While we do not offer personal transportation, we provide outings and have numerous in-house services including medical care, therapy, and beauty services to meet the needs of our residents without them having to leave the community.

Dining Experience

Our dining experience features assigned seating, an Executive Chef-curated menu, flexible meal times, and accommodations for dietary restrictions. An always available menu and snack cart ensure all residents' preferences are met.
