We have carefully created a controlled environment specifically designed for the person with dementia. We believe these design features allow for our residents to have as much personal success as possible. Some of the features include:

• Natural lighting in common areas
• Unobtrusive entrance and exits
• Different apartment door colors for easy identification
• Journey Stations geared toward the natural curiosity of our residents
• Accent walls behind the toilets
• Colored toilet seats and grab bars
• Line of sight from bed to bathroom
• Individual sound system for musical cueing

Journey stations are destinations throughout the community that encourage residents to be naturally curious about the items they see while triggering special memories. Each Journey Station is strategically placed throughout our hallways and is carefully designed to pique the person’s interest. Each station has a theme with items the person can pick up, read, look at, put on, reflect on, etc.

The staff of Providence Place are specially trained in all aspects of dementia; communication, activities, and care which allows them to provide highly personalized care.

Each resident’s personalized service agreement serves as a guide for our staff to ensure our residents have everything they need to feel comfortable and successful each and every day.

Two levels of care are available to our residents. Level of care is determined upon completion of the nursing assessment prior to admission and as needed thereafter due to change in condition. The level of care is determined by a simple point system which is based upon the amount of staff dedication needed to provide quality care.
