Cherishing Your Loved One & Everything They Are
When choosing the right support for your loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia, personalization, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for care are must-haves.
We provide empathetic care that cherishes your loved one’s unique identity.
Inspired by the best-selling book Meet Me Where I Am, our Lilac Trace philosophy emphasizes the importance of connecting residents to their past while cherishing the present. The five key elements of our Lilac Trace philosophy:
- We treat everyone as an individual. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to care.
- We respect each resident by understanding their individual history.
- We walk side by side with each resident daily and accept people for who they are now.
- We understand that behaviors and expressions are a form of communication.
- We strive to make each moment special.
In our Lilac Trace Memory Care neighborhood, we help families stay connected with their loved ones, experience the joy of spending time together, and focus on being a family again.
It’s time to find the support your loved one deserves. Schedule a visit today.
