Our Approach

Circadian Lighting – Used throughout our homes to support the natural rhythms of our residents. By mimicking the patterns of natural daylight, this lighting helps promote better sleep, boost mood, and encourage overall well-being. Softer, warmer tones in the evening create a calming environment, while brighter, cooler light during the day helps residents feel more energized and engaged. It’s one of the many ways we design our households to feel both comfortable and health-focused.

Age-in-Place Bathrooms – Feature nightlights, pinch-free barn doors, motion Sensors to help monitor residents who are a fall risk​, shut-off valves for shower, toilet, and sink​ and a black toilet seat to aid in depth perception issues.

Red Dinnerware – we use red plates in all of our homes- research has shown that the bold color helps stimulate appetite and increase food intake. For many older adults—especially those living with memory loss or vision changes—contrasting colors make it easier to distinguish food from the plate, creating a more engaging and enjoyable dining experience. This simple change can support better nutrition and overall well-being.

Double-Dutch Doors – Balance privacy, safety, and independence. The top half can remain open to encourage connection and supervision, while the bottom half stays closed for safety and security—allowing residents to maintain independence while still feeling supported in a homelike environment.

Resident Name Plaques – We use resident name plaques on the outside of doors to make it easier for residents to recognize and find their own rooms, promoting comfort and independence. These plaques also give team members a quick way to learn more about each resident, sparking conversations and building meaningful connections.

Dementia Specific Trainings – We believe exceptional care begins with exceptional training. That’s why every team member goes through extensive, dementia-specific education designed to build understanding, empathy, and expertise. From communication techniques and behavioral approaches to engagement strategies and safety practices, our training ensures that each member of our team is equipped to provide the highest quality of support. This commitment empowers us to honor every resident’s story while creating moments of joy, dignity, and connection each day.
