Often the mental demands of those struggling with Alzheimer's disease can take over the emotional needs of these same residents. But at Barathaven Alzheimer's Special Care Center in Dardenne Prairie, MO, we keep the emotional needs and feelings of your loved one at the very center of what we do.

Our exclusive Meaningful Moments® program is specifically designed to help meet the needs of those residents with memory loss. We begin by finding out the life story of each individual by finding out their preferences, likes, dislikes and cherished memories. By adding details and preferences from the residents' life stories into their day we can build comfort and a sense of meaning for each resident individually. The result is a familiar atmosphere for your loved one.
