Philosophy


We believe that a resident does not lose his or her dignity, autonomy, or ability to contribute meaningfully to the community as a result of memory-related dementia.

We approach all of our care in a manner that looks holistically at the needs of our residents. In that way we believe we can maximize the abilities and minimize the losses of those in our care.

We know the health of our residents is important, but equally important is the quality of their social day. We have developed meaningful activities for our residents, ones that duplicate, as much as possible, the experience of living in one’s own home.

We provide individualized activities to match the capabilities of each resident, from those as concrete as sensory activities, to more abstract activities. The day for a resident in our Generations Program will have a flow to it that allows for rest, normal day-to-day activities such as setting the table and folding clothes, spiritual enrichment, exercise, healthy food in an enjoyable environment, and plenty of laughter and fun, all delivered in a safe, clean, and supportive environment.
