Juniper Glen Alzheimer's Special Care Center

Juniper Glen Alzheimer's Special Care Center is a superb assisted living community in East Amherst, New York. It is within fascinating Erie County which is part of the Empire State.

All of us want to lead lives of purpose and meaning. It’s no different for those living with memory loss. At Juniper Glen, our Meaningful Moments® program is designed specifically to create moments of joy each and every day for those living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.

Juniper Glen, located in East Amherst, and a few short miles Northeast of Buffalo in Western New York, would love to educate you on our distinctive dementia-care program called Meaningful Moments. 

People living with memory loss face greater challenges than most of us. Being unable to remember life’s most cherished moments is a difficult path, but not a hopeless one. JEA Senior Living recognizes that these individuals haven’t lost the capacity to experience joy and are able to continue leading meaningful lives.

That’s the basis for our Meaningful Moments program. This unique approach to caring for those with dementia goes beyond merely making these individuals safe and comfortable. It’s a family-centered concept that starts by learning everything there is to know about our residents – their passions, achievements, careers, family, hobbies and interests. This allows our staff to create moments of real meaning that engage our residents emotionally, physically, mentally, socially and spiritually.

It also helps bond caregivers to the resident, so they are able to see more than their current condition and recognize them for the singular and exceptional person they are. By creating this profound connection, Meaningful Moments establishes a strong foundation of trust and well-being from which residents are able to create new memories and thrive in an environment of exceptional care.

At JEA Senior Living Communities we acknowledge that every individual requires different levels of care at varying points of their lives. We are dedicated to providing specialized care specifically tailored to each resident’s unique needs throughout the aging experience. Our levels of care include independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, as well as our primary focus, Alzheimer’s specialty care centers.

The staff at Juniper Glen incorporates each resident’s life story into their personalized daily care plan. Utilizing our distinctive Meaningful Moments approach, our team provides a warm and meaningful assisted living environment that includes family and friends. We welcome and encourage you to join us in the many activities we offer at Juniper Glen Alzheimer’s Special Care Center.

At Juniper Glen, we keep the emotional needs and feelings of your loved one at the very center of what we do. Our Meaningful Moments® program incorporates past patterns and routines into the life of each resident to ensure the highest quality of life possible. This exclusive program is specifically designed to help meet the needs of residents with memory loss. We start by gathering the life story of each individual by learning about preferences, likes, dislikes and cherished memories. Adding details and preferences from the residents’ life stories into their day we can build comfort and a sense of meaning for each resident. The result is a familiar atmosphere for your loved one to enjoy.

We realize that when it comes to senior living, there are so many options.

After touring multiple communities, comparing amenities, and reviewing price lists, it can be overwhelming and confusing. Our Care Teams take the guesswork out of the process and act as your advocate. With clear pricing, alignment of care needs, and personal preference – we put ourselves in your shoes and help you make the best decision for your family.

As a family founded company, we know a thing or two about what you’re going through.
