Memory Care With Compassion And Dignity

At Village Shalom’s Memory Support program, we form deep bonds with residents while nurturing their cognitive, physical, and emotional capabilities.

Holistic Approach to Caregiving

Memory Support focuses on all aspects of your loved one’s cognitive, physical, and psycho-social needs. This supports the health of the whole person.

Memory Support Community

Village Shalom offers three neighborhoods, each with its own shared living areas, a dedicated therapy space, salon, chapel, and secure courtyard that promotes a sense of community.

Amenities for Active Living

Along with private suites, residents enjoy safe outdoor spaces, arts and crafts, organized group activities, daily housekeeping, laundry service, a personalized meal experience, and regular wellness checkups.

Safety As A Priority

Memory Support residents reside in a secured building supported with 24-hour on-campus security personnel and continuous monitoring. Residents have access to protected outdoor spaces where they can safely enjoy nature while remaining physically active.

Cross-Trained Team Members

The Village Shalom team is trained to perform a variety of tasks, from personal care and daily living assistance, to housekeeping and engaging residents in activities. Cross-training and consistency of team members creates the opportunity for meaningful relationships to develop between the team, residents, and their families.

Support For You

Village Shalom’s focus on the whole person also extends to friends and family. Village Shalom offers emotional support, education and resources for individuals living with dementia, their loved ones, and caregivers. A sense of community is fostered through social connections and assistance with navigating healthcare options.

Memory Support is specialized care for individuals with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, offering a secure environment and structured programs to enhance cognitive function and quality of life.

While Assisted Living focuses on helping with daily tasks, Memory Support provides more specialized support for residents with memory impairments, including 24-hour supervision.

Memory Support tends to be more expensive due to the higher level of care and supervision required. We can provide specific pricing based on your loved one’s needs.

We offer a variety of memory support activities, including music therapy, art therapy, memory games, sensory stimulation, and guided social interactions, all tailored to enhance cognitive function.

Residents are encouraged to bring familiar items such as photos, blankets, and mementos to create a comforting and recognizable environment.

Family visits are welcomed and encouraged, and regular interaction can be a critical part of supporting Memory Support residents.
