Park Village Memory Care

Purpose Statement

Our purpose for the Park Village Assisted Living Memory Care Community remains steadfast to our foundational principal of providing exceptional nursing care in an environment that fosters the core memory care needs of the residents. In doing so the personnel will:

  • continue to receive the most current training by our Dementia Certified Practitioner to apply the techniques/skills specifically geared toward residents with memory impairment,
  • provide a safe and secured environment that is home-like with details focused on creating set rhythms for sensory stimulation,
  • provide an activity program designed to meet residents’ individual needs as well as the needs of the community, and
  • foster a commitment with families to partner with Park Village to ensure interests, hobbies, and family connections are maintained during the resident’s stay

The Difference Between Assisted Living and Assisted Living Memory Care

The difference between Assisted Living /Specialty Care Assisted Living and the Assisted Living Memory Care Community is the structured environment the facility has created to better serve the residents with dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and other memory impairments. The environment includes personnel trained in using memory care skills, structured activities meeting the residents’ cognitive needs, set rhythms for sensory stimulation, and a safe/secure environment which includes an enclosed courtyard for residents to be outside in a safe area, hard-wired door alarms, delayed egress doors, and a wander guard system.
