Our staff brings a special kindness and commitment to their work with this challenging group of residents. Every effort is made to engage each individual and to work to maintain cognitive skills. Group activities, along with group and individual recreational therapies keep residents stimulated and allow staff to continually reassess the functional level of each patient.

Long term relationships are established between staff and residents. The atmosphere is kept upbeat resulting in the maintenance of family-like relationships.

Mental impairment can, of course, make communication difficult and add greatly to the stresses experienced by residents and by their loved ones. The Dementia Team strives to provide needed support and encouragement to families as part of a holistic approach to care, recognizing its responsibilities to the resident and to his/her spouse and children.
