The Resident Center at Burcham Hills features three specially dedicated memory care neighborhoods designed to provide the safety, security, people, and programs for those with Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias.
Our compassionate team is trained in the renowned Heartfelt Connections—A Memory Care Program™, a person-centered philosophy grounded in the belief that the abilities that remain are far more important than those that are lost.
The team employs reminiscence tools to help our residents’ family members and loved ones capture the details of residents’ lives—their careers, hobbies, likes, and dislikes. We then apply the insights gained from each life story to create an individualized care plan that encourages physical and emotional well-being, helps maintain a sense of purpose, and promotes the highest possible quality of life.
