At DeSano Place Village Memory Care and Assisted Living, we create opportunities for people who are living with Alzheimer's Disease and other types of dementia to thrive. We believe this is best done by understanding and serving the unique social, emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of each resident.

Our person-centered approach begins with gathering a thorough life history so our team can recognize each resident in context. By working to know who our residents are and how they have impacted the world, we are able to craft unique, positive approaches that are designed to help our residents continue having lives of meaning and purpose.

• Assistance with daily living activities such as help with bathing, grooming, toileting, dressing, mobility-which benefits the resident by reducing the risk of falls, incontinence, and poor hygiene.
• Delicious, dietitian -approved, home-cooked and locally accepted meals and snacks with scents that would whet anyone's appetite!
• Cable television, computer and telephone pre-wired hookups so that residents can stay "connected" to their world and loved ones.
• Assistance with medications and medication delivery service, so that the resident does not have drug interactions, takes the appropriate medication at the appropriate time and has less pain and discomfort with chronic illnesses.
