Memory Care . . . Dawn of a New Day

Dawn of a New Day defines the mission of Eskaton Memory Care to inspire each resident, every day. Our empathic approach helps ensure that our residents at all stages of dementia live with personal dignity and self-worth. Dawn of a New Day distinguishes Eskaton’s Memory Care by its commitment to:

•

Make connections with and among residents by sharing experiences.

•

Engage residents in activities that promote self-expression and cognitive challenges.

•

Partner with families; provide support and regular communication.

•

Coordinate intergenerational connections.

•

Serve as an educational resource center.

•

Train staff to highest standards of healthcare. Require empathy, compassion and teamwork.

•

Respect the physical environment of individuals and the community.

Memory Care residents enjoy the intimacy of private or semi-private rooms, along with the benefits of the social atmosphere of the common living room, dining area, recreation room and courtyards. Additionally, creative sensory stimulation activities including arts and crafts, pet therapy, reminiscence, gardening, tea socials, exercise, outings and intergenerational connections are scheduled regularly – and often joined by family members and volunteers.
