Every senior has a unique life story. Their stories are made up of a rich tapestry of memories that they hold dear.

These special memories can help guide the personalized care you receive in Memory Care at Traditions.

If you’re considering Memory Care in a senior living community for your loved one, start by asking if Memory Care is a good fit for your loved one at this time.

Environment

Varietas® relies on the things we learn about your loved one to comfort and connect with them in a warm and nurturing environment. Our memory care communities are thoughtfully designed with safety and convenience in mind. You may see things like:

secure, enclosed courtyards and gardens
single floor layouts with familiar floorplans.
hydration stations with colored and lightly flavored water to encourage hydration and stimulate appetite.
personalized memory boxes and bold font name plates help resident navigate back and forth to their apartment.

All of these elements work together to help residents feel safe and comfortable.

Engagement

Studies show socialization has a positive impact on seniors and can reduce, even prevent the signs of depression. Each resident's daily routine consists of their own combination of therapeutic and positive stimulation, including expressive arts, exercise, nutrition, reminiscing, cognitive activities, and social engagement with peers, staff, and families.
