We work with residents, their families and their medical teams to create a personalized care plan that meets their needs while respecting their independence. Once a resident has been a part of our community for some time, we include their regular caregivers as part of that team, since they are the people who see the resident every day.

We have heightened security measures placed throughout our building, including residents’ private apartments. Our goal with security is not to limit where residents go, but instead to protect them from issues that occur with diseases like Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, like wandering. Regarding keeping them safe within the building, we have intuitive fall-detection systems that help residents quickly alert our team to a fall and help team members prevent falls from occurring in the first place.

Caregivers undergo a thorough interview process and must pass multiple background and certification checks. Once our team verifies they can provide the type of care our residents need, we bring them on board as part of our memory care team in Draper, UT. Then they complete our intensive training, where they learn about our pillars of care and our heightened expectations for memory care.
