Memory Care at Boulevard Place

Memory Care at Boulevard Place is dedicated to meeting the special needs of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias as well as to providing supportive services for their families.

Innovative Alzheimer’s Memory Care programming will enable residents to achieve the highest possible levels of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Our Philosophy of Care

• We believe that the needs of each person with cognitive impairment must be addressed through an individualized plan of care.
   
• We believe that, because we cannot change the diagnosis of dementia, we must change to accommodate it.
   
• We believe that quality dementia care can not be standardized, but rather must be ever-adapting to the changing needs of the individual.

What is a Memory Care Unit?

Memory Care Units are structured environments for persons suffering from memory loss. Memory losses can be caused by any number of reasons, including, but not limited to, Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy Body disease, Pick’s disease, and Stroke.

Within a Memory Care Unit, factors such as lighting, interior design, and activity programming are tailored to the needs of residents suffering from these diseases. Although individuals may exhibit different behaviors and characteristics, Memory Care Units are designed to meet these needs in one setting.

Memory Care at Boulevard Place includes:

• Two distinct “neighborhoods” – each providing a comforting, low-stimulus environment
   
• An expansive “ Activity Boulevard” serving to engage residents both cognitively and physically
   
• “Memory Boxes” and display areas throughout the unit which encourage residents to personalize their living spaces
   
• A private beauty salon and bathing spa for personal care services
   
• A comprehensive, therapeutic recreation program to accommodate the unique yet dynamic needs of each resident
   
• Staff who have specialized dementia care training to better understand the disease process and how best to meet resident needs
   
• Personalized care that encourages each resident to lead life to its fullest
