If your loved one has Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, you may wish to consider a dedicated memory care community like Keepsake Village. You’ll appreciate the inviting environment of this one-story community. The covered porch offers plenty of seating where you can enjoy the peaceful environment, and the colorful blooms and raised gardening beds in the courtyard provide a peaceful outdoor environment.

Community Amenities and Services

Your loved one will engage in a variety of activities throughout the day. Caregivers will encourage your loved one to engage in physical activities designed to maintain and improve their mobility. Physical activities suit a variety of interests with options such as a walking club, tai chi, dancing, and chair exercises. Keepsake Village also provides activities designed to stimulate your loved one’s cognitive abilities. Examples include small group discussions on broad topics, such as science as well as outcome-oriented activities, like puzzles. All activities focus on one of six cognitive domains: short-term or long-term memory, computation, language, critical thinking, and visuospatial understanding.

Your loved one will enjoy delicious meals served restaurant-style in the spacious dining room. Regular housekeeping, trash removal, and laundry services help ensure your loved one’s apartment stays fresh and clean. Scheduled transportation is available for appointments, shopping, and excursions.

Keepsake Village focuses on person-centered care. Caregivers want to know your loved one’s life history — childhood memories, favorite foods, and family traditions all help caregivers understand your loved one better. In addition to this thoughtful care, your loved one will benefit from the Mosher-Gardens program of care. This program strives to make your loved one feel more comfortable and reduces symptoms of agitation through predictable routines. Your loved one will alternate active and passive activities, so they don’t become overwhelmed. Should your loved one need it, on-site physical therapy is available.
