Comfort, security and a sense of belonging are all aspects of our new memory care program. Guiding Philosophy Auguste's Cottage cares for our residents by helping them feel right at home, rather than in an institutional setting. Excellent healthcare is always provided, but quality of life is our primary focus. We embrace and practice the "Eden Alternative" philosophy by surrounding our residents with cares and comforts of the outside world. Stimulating daily activities are offered and encouraged to sustain independence and promote a healthy spirit. Our staff is dedicated to giving our residents the dignity, respect and love they deserve. We encourage the use of hugs and physical touch to communicate feelings of security and belonging. We educate our caregivers on all forms of Alzheimer's, dementia and memory impairment so that we can create and maintain the best environment and program of care for each individual resident. Enriching Program Auguste's Cottage is designed to follow the ebb and flow of the typical Alzheimer's or dementia experience. An individualized daily living program encourages our residents to participate in various mental and physical activities throughout their day. The program provides the structure and routine needed to ensure feelings of security and certainty in day-to-day life. We are passionate about providing the best possible care and environment for each resident. We strive for active partnerships with each resident's family and we encourage families to be involved in the daily life and care at Auguste's Cottage. The Atmosphere of Home Auguste's Cottage feels like home; warm and inviting, safe and secure. The decor tells a story of times gone by and encourages residents to reminisce. Plants adorn the halls and pets visit frequently. The secured grounds are lush and beautiful and perfect for supervised strolls or bird watching. From personalized memory boxes to visual prompts, we take every step necessary to provide an independent and dignifying experience for each of our residents. |
