Bringing Dignity and Belonging to Memory Care
Our memory care services are rooted in kindness and compassion, focusing on the unique needs of each resident with cognitive disorders like Alzheimer’s or dementia.
Inspired by the best-selling book, “Meet Me Where I Am,” our Lilac Trace philosophy emphasizes connecting residents to their past while celebrating their present perspective. The five key elements of our Lilac Trace philosophy:
- We treat everyone as an individual, avoiding a “one-size-fits-all” approach.
- We respect each resident by understanding their personal history.
- We walk side by side with each resident daily, accepting them for who they are now.
- We recognize that behaviors and expressions are forms of communication.
- We strive to make each moment special.
We support residents with comprehensive services, amenities, and wellness programs. Discover how Lilac Trace Memory Care at The Terrace at Chestnut Hill can enrich the life of your loved one today.
