At The Fountains, we understand how difficult it is to trust someone else to care for a loved one that has Dementia or Alzheimer’s. Our Memory Care Neighborhood provides seniors with cognitive impairment a comfortable and safe place to call home.
Person-Centered Alzheimer’s Care
In our Memory Care Neighborhood, we use a person-centered approach to care. We begin by developing an individual plan of care for each resident, paying careful attention to their abilities and challenges. Each caregiver and support team member gets to know your loved one. We learn about their life and what still connects and engages them today and we use this knowledge to structure their day in a meaningful and successful way.
