Our Approach

Joy of Life

Before starting care, we get to know your loved one, understanding who they were before and what they’re passionate about today. Do they love the symphony and opera? Gardening and socializing with friends? Museums and photography? Reading, listening to music or audio books?

Through our unique Cognitive Care Assessment, we learn about their care needs and also discover what they love—their favorite music, food, social activities, hobbies—and what brings joy and meaning to their day. At every level of care, we’re focused on the person, not the condition, and how to make each day better.
