THRIVE IN THE COURTYARD

Thrive: A Program For The Whole Person


Thrive in the Courtyard helps people who have Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia feel independent and maintain their existing skills. Anchored in a life history tool, this specialized memory care program customizes each person’s care. We incorporate their past experiences, physical skills, current interests, routines and hobbies into activities that deliver a meaningful, more satisfying daily life.

A HOMELIKE SETTING


We create a comfortable environment for residents’ ease – a secure neighborhood around a courtyard, with 24-hour staffing. Housekeeping and meal preparation are provided, and a professional nursing staff trained in managing cognitive, behavioral and physical symptoms works with residents, their families and physicians. The result is customized care, and families can be certain their loved one is well cared for, engaged in daily life and safe.

CONSTANT IN CARE


The needs of those who have Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia will change over time. When that person is your loved one, you want care that flexes and adapts. We’ll provide whatever care they require – constantly. Integrated Staffing for Life Enrichment Team members receive specialized Thrive and dementia training.

  • Staffing incorporates team members from Administration, Dining Services, Caregivers, Maintenance, Housekeeping and Life Enrichment
  • Team members engage residents when performing daily tasks for them and during friendly, everyday encounters
  • Meaningful, personal interaction helps every resident feel a sense of purpose and pleasure and encourages ongoing participation

ELEVATE DAILY LIFE WITH THRIVE IN THE COURTYARD


The goal of our Thrive in the Courtyard Memory Care Program is to create a unique journey from start to finish for your loved one – infusing their journey with strong emotional connection, friendship and a personalized calendar of therapies and experiences. We collaborate closely with family members to consistently create moments that matter and foster a longer memory for your loved one by encouraging routines, past skills and even the examination of treasured photos.

  • Utmost respect, patience and kindness
  • Staff devoted to meeting individual needs
  • The best care possible, ensured by ongoing dialogue with family and physicians
