MEMORY SUPPORT IN ASSISTED LIVING

Whether it’s assistance with daily tasks or rekindling memory, our skilled staff is always there to offer help and strengthen confidence.

Partnering with national leaders in the field, we’ve drawn upon the best thinking in the country and set a new benchmark in memory support. All of our staff have specialized training in assisting people with memory loss and managing challenging behaviors with dignity. Using redirection and anxiety-reducing techniques, they calm and reassure, decreasing the need for medication. Creatively designed programs and settings stimulate memory and build independence and self-esteem.

MEMORY SUPPORT IN NURSING CARE

We work to improve health and abilities by reducing medication and promoting exercise and movement. Access to beautifully landscaped, secure courtyards allows residents to enjoy the outdoors safely, while live-in pets and visiting children offer opportunities for friendly interaction and companionship. Through ongoing training and work with specialists, we seek to achieve our goal: healthy residents who participate as fully as possible in life.

"When my mother arrived at Brooke Grove, she was unable to stand and needed full assistance in transferring. After three weeks, she was transferring independently, walking up a flight of stairs and ambulating with a walker. Your physical therapy department was absolutely wonderful."
