Expressions Memory Care :: Special care is needed when an illness or disability brings about memory loss, confusion or disorientation. Activity programs designed for healthy adults are often too stressful for a person with dementia. Expressions Memory Care is different. It’s based on the philosophy that activity is more effective when it becomes a rhythm of everyday life. We focus on the activities of daily living, which are challenging enough for individuals with memory care needs. We incorporate effective communication and memory keys into a personalized program that accommodates each individual’s unique interests and abilities. Most importantly, we take care of the details so you can focus on the more positive aspects of the relationship with your loved one. Expressions is now available with temporary or full-time residence. An Expressions community includes specially designed housing apartments to help keep your loved one safe and secure, while a highly trained staff bestows the kindness, understanding, patience and reassurance they deserve 24 hours a day.

Hospice Care :: The end of life is a period in which every individual deserves compassion, dignity and respect. Our Hospice services provide each individual with the medical care and emotional support they need to make the most of the time they have left with the ones they love. Our focus is to help relieve pain and other symptoms so residents can live comfortably and alert while maintaining a reasonable course of medical care 24 hours a day. We work cooperatively with the resident and their family to coordinate the delivery of psychological, emotional and spiritual support consistent with each individual’s beliefs and wishes. We honor living wills, advance directives, and we welcome the involvement of outside counselors, therapists, social workers, aides and volunteers. Visitors of all ages are also welcome to visit residents under hospice care at any time during the day or night.

Lifetime Enrichment Program :: More than just a calendar of events, our Lifetimes Enrichment Program headed by the communities’ Life Enrichment Director offers residents stimulating activities designed to exercise the body, spirit and mind.

Pet therapy :: This form of therapy utilizes trained animals and handlers to achieve specific physical, social, cognitive, and emotional goals with patients. Unlike people, with whom our interactions may be quite complex and unpredictable, animals provide a constant source of comfort and focus for attention. Animals bring out our nurturing instinct. They also make us feel safe and unconditionally accepted. Research has shown that pet visits can: Reduce stress-induced symptoms. Requires Less Medical Care and add years to one’s life

Retreat Stays :: Most people take a while to recover from a temporary incapacity caused by illness, injury or surgery. You may be feeling better, but you may not be ready to resume your normal daily routine.

For the well-being of both the caregiver and the individual receiving care, it’s vital that you take an occasional, temporary break. Then again, maybe you want to check us out for a while and “experience” what it’s like to live in our beautiful community.
