Heartfelt Connections: A Memory Care Program
January 1, 2024
Each member of our team is trained in the innovative and proven Heartfelt Connections – A Memory Care Program ®, a comprehensive program based on the latest in memory care research and best practices.
Heartfelt Connections is an individualized program that starts with getting to know each resident’s life story, focusing on their capabilities. Then we develop a personalized plan that concentrates on their unique abilities and celebrates each small success.
Heartfelt Connections promotes dignity and a sense of accomplishment in day-to-day activities, supports improved self-worth, self-esteem, and overall health and well-being; and reduces fear, anxiety, and frustration.
It’s an approach guided by these principles:
- We view aging as a natural process – life stories that are continued
- We believe what remains is far more important than what is lost
- We focus on each resident’s unique abilities
- We embrace and celebrate everything our residents do
- We create success stories, one small victory at a time
