Our Memory Care Community in Grand Island, NE, is designed to be both stimulating and supportive.

Based on the philosophies and principles of Dr. Maria Montessori, our exclusive Portraits program is centered on enhancing our residents’ abilities - what they can do instead of what they can’t. Our goal is to support he cognitive loss many of our Memory Care residents face, and create individualized programming for them, that adds purpose and meaning to their lives.

Our team regularly gathers to review items, photos and stories collected from residents’ families, giving us insight into our residents’ pasts. Where are they from? What did they do? What brings them joy? Who did they love? Our team members then share their own observations about each resident’s needs, abilities, challenges and what responsive behaviors are occurring and why. This allows the team to develop individualized programs, giving each resident roles and routines.
