What Is Memory Care?

Memory care is a lifestyle program designed for those affected by Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and other cognitive challenges. Our structured environment, combined with engaging activities, aims to enhance cognitive function and overall well-being.

We use Teepa Snow’s GEMS model to identify and cater to each resident’s unique needs with personalized care.

Our Approach to Memory Care

Our community uses research-backed memory care techniques rooted in Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care. 

The GEMS model allows us to recognize and support each resident’s capabilities, offering a structured yet flexible care plan that adapts to their evolving needs.

Sapphire

A sapphire brain functions normally, showing flexibility and organization. 

People at this level often serve as excellent companions for those with dementia due to their adaptability.

Emerald

Emerald state residents often experience confusion in thoughts and communication. They may not be aware of these changes, attributing difficulties to others. Adapting strategies, rather than highlighting flaws, proves more effective for caregivers.

Diamond

People in the diamond state remain sharp of mind but can become rigid and resistant to change. They exhibit many cognitive abilities but may struggle with daily challenges, making it difficult for their families to recognize the signs of dementia.

Pearl

Pearl state residents exhibit active reflexes and deteriorating motor skills as their body systems begin to fail. With proper care, their inner essence can still be appreciated and cherished.

Ruby

Ruby state residents show a decline in fine motor skills, affecting vision, speech, and swallowing. They still have the capacity for more significant movements and strength, requiring caregivers to manage stress and provide flexible, understanding support.

Amber

Amber state people live in the moment, driven by sensations and curiosity. They often lack safety awareness, which can present challenges for caregivers who must balance past behaviors with current actions.
