Memory Support Area
Two neighborhoods within the Masonic Health Care Center are specifically designed to provide individualized care for our residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias. These residences are tailored to maintain the dignity, respect and safety of all residents within a secure environment. By dividing this area into higher and lower functioning sides, the staff can target programs to meet the needs of each resident in a specific stage of dementia.
Each neighborhood has its own recreational area, dining room, pantry, kitchen settings, a shower room, family room and audio/visual equipment.The outdoor courtyards on each neighborhood are beautifully designed to enhance therapeutic recreation and nostalgic memories as residents progress from the early to late stages of dementia.
