Memory Care
A compassionate approach that prioritizes the whole you.
At Whittier Place, we understand that memory changes are different for each individual. With meaningful opportunities to connect, engage, and grow, we’ve created a community that truly feels like home. Comfortable, familiar, and secure, our community treats each resident with the utmost care and respect, giving you and your entire family peace of mind today, tomorrow, and beyond.
Through our Prema Memory Support℠ program, expert universal caregivers known as Nayas incorporate each resident into the rhythms of daily living, guiding them through each day with an empathetic, nurturing style. Nayas create deep connections with each resident, and provide customized care and one-on-one support in a safe, supportive environment.
Beautifully refreshed living spaces and residences are familiar and vibrant with all the comforts of home. Residents have access to a secure private outdoor courtyard, enrichment programs, and curated wellness offerings that keep their unique needs at the forefront. You’re free to be yourself and lead an enriching life filled with favorite pastimes and reminders of things to look forward to. Meaningful moments include cooking meals together, creating a scrapbook, filling the bird feeders on the patio, listening to favorite music, laughing with loved ones, smelling flowers in the garden, and more.
Whether you or a loved one is experiencing mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease, or another form of dementia, we’re here for you and your family every step of the way.
Internal Staff Training by Watermark Retirement Communities is recognized by the Alzheimer’s Association® for incorporating the evidence-based Dementia Care Practice Recommendations in the following topic areas: Alzheimer’s and dementia, person-centered care, assessment and care planning, activities of daily living, and behaviors and communication.
