Special Care Programs

Emeritus is proud of it's special programs offered in many of the communities.  Not only do we offer the Join Their Journey Alzheimer's Program but we also have Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Programs, Rehabilitation Programs and Short-Stay Care Programs.

The Join Their Journey Experience

We train our caregivers to understand how Alzheimer's disease and dementia in the elderly affects the brain. With this knowledge, our staff joins residents in their moment,rather than trying to bring them into our reality. This is our Join Their Journey program, based on the following philosophy of care:

• We create a familiar environment that wraps residents in the comfort of past meaningful experiences by personalizing their apartment and surrounding common areas with items and "memory stations" that rekindle memories. Memory stations could include a table strewn with every day tools, a teacher's chalkboard, a 1940s vintage kitchen stocked with dishes and products from that era, or an old-fashioned vanity stocked with scarves, handbags, hats and jewelry.
• Our staff gets to know residents in our Alzheimer’s and dementia care program personally by spending time with them and their loved ones to build a personal biography. Then we create a Service and Care Plan based on the biography details to ensure each resident feels comfortable, safe, valued and well cared for.
• Plus...you’re able to provide insights into your loved one’s preferences, life stories, traditions, values and beliefs. So we keep you closely involved in care planning and offer support groups and classes just for you and other family members.
