The Landmarks for Living™ philosophy, fully incorporated into our Memory Support services, is a philosophy that promotes increased self-esteem in a nurturing, purposeful environment. It maximizes care with amenities and community design features specifically developed to support residents and family members.
For residents:
- Respectful team members maintain residents' dignity, fostering their increased self-esteem
- Warm, inviting, home-like décor, restaurant-style delivery of meals with assistance as needed, and higher team member ratio promotes independence
- Trained staff improves interactions with residents, often resulting in fewer behavior problems and a reduction in medication needs
- Customized setting helps residents feel more at home, as does living with others suffering with similar conditions
- Environment is adjusted to help promote independence
- Emphasis is placed on safety and security
For families:
- Individualized reviews let families track their loved ones' progress
- Support groups give families the opportunity to communicate with other caregivers
- Promotes family support and peace of mind
- As residents' sleep, nutrition, and hydration improve, interaction with family members often improves, too
Of course, families are encouraged to personalize their loved one's residence by bringing items such as family photos or a favorite blanket so that their loved one feels at home. You'll also enjoy peace of mind knowing that our staff members take the time to learn the history of each resident, enhancing the quality of day-to-day living. It's these extra steps that result in a nurturing relationship, which, very often, is the best medicine of all. |
