While our common areas are designed for socializing, our private apartments offer privacy and their own quiet place.

Our supportive dining environment encourages familiarity and socialization during mealtime. Three flavorsome, nutritious home-style meals and snacks are served daily in our dining area. We keep mealtimes very routine for our residents to help alleviate any confusion or added stress. All residents sit together at the same time and same table each day and place settings enhance and provide ease for each person.
Deeply rooted in a person-centered approach, our Alzheimer s and dementia care is called the Clare Bridge program, where each resident is surrounded by others with the same cognitive abilities, to give them a feeling of fitting in. Clare Bridge focuses on sustaining feelings of belonging, purpose and safety while seeking to preserve a sense of self.
The Clare Bridge Daily Path provides residents with a structured, yet fun, routine of activities discussions for mental workouts, dancing for physical exercise that help maintain their abilities and encourage the use of their current skills, even with advanced expressions of the disease. The Daily Path is carefully structured to give each resident purpose and a sense of security that they are right where they need to be. And, of course, you ll have peace of mind knowing there is trained staff on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
