HEIRLOOM MEMORY CARE
Thoughtfully crafted to nurture and encourage independence, dignity, and individuality for each resident, our memory care approach at The Carnegie provides a safe and comfortable environment that is wellness-focused. Families can be assured that our warm and caring associates will deliver the highest quality of care with compassion.
The dementia journey is hard, let’s be on it together. We’re holding that tested, proven compass – and together we can navigate the path ahead.
HEIRLOOM-TRAINED PROFESSIONALS
Our Heirloom Memory Care, Art of Living Well, and Care Services teams are certified Montessori Dementia Care Professionals. We utilize these methods to recognize residents’ unique abilities and interests, creating meaningful and purposeful engagements.
In addition, our Memory Care leaders are certified Virtual Dementia Tour facilitators, offering monthly research-based education and immersive experiences to foster empathy and understanding.
DINING WITH DIGNITY
Our dining associates incorporate daily ritual and research-based methods to enhance appetites and create a dignified, empowered experience. We present two beautifully plated entrées to assist residents in their choices. Thoughtfully set
tables and upgraded dishware provide environmental cues, while a warm towel refresh at the start and end of each meal respects residents’ dignity.
As part of our Kisco Special Diets program, beautifully plated meals are tailored for residents who require modified-texture diets. We go beyond nutrition, crafting enticing dishes designed by our innovative Culinary Directors. We are committed to – and take pride in – breaking the stigmas associated with senior living dining.
ENGAGING PROGRAMMING
Our dedicated Art of Living Well assistants host meaningful engagements from morning to evening, seven days a week. To address sundowning symptoms common in dementia, we provide proactive programming throughout the day, ensuring every moment counts.
With each interaction, we keep your person at the center. We learn about and honor their stories, history, joys, and what gives them purpose, because they share the wisdom, accomplishments and resilience of the past with all of us today.
