A Secure and Caring Community
Our memory care neighborhoods are for seniors with memory impairments such as Alzheimer’s and dementia. Along the Journey, Priority Life Care’s Memory Care programming, focuses on overall wellness through person-centered care. This approach helps families and caregivers develop relationships, enriching the lives of our residents and families.
Person-centered care is essential in dementia care and aligns with the Alzheimer’s Association Dementia Care Practice Recommendations. It fosters mutual recognition, respect, and trust between caregivers and residents’ loved ones. We provide consistent caregivers to support a resident’s sense of self along with individualized and engaging activities. Additionally, we offer guidance and support systems for family members.

Resident Assessments
Potential residents are assessed before admission and regularly thereafter. Our care plans are unique to each individual and flexible enough to accommodate each resident’s feelings and needs. Families complete a “Familiar Routine and Life Story” to help our care staff optimize residents’ independence by building on strengths, interests, and abilities. The more we can get to know residents prior to move-in, the better we can serve them.

Life Enrichment
Our Along the Journey program features life enrichment programming that is integral to each resident’s care plan. To ensure our activities are meaningful, we meet with our new neighbors and their families to understand their likes, dislikes, interests, and hobbies. By incorporating these personal elements, we create a nurturing environment where our neighbors can thrive.
Purpose-driven activities, life experience stations, and encouragement for participation help our residents, whom we call “neighbors”, maintain a sense of self-worth. We celebrate every small success while focusing on strengths rather than limitations.
Life Enrichment is a part of daily routine for our neighbors. We schedule activities for overall wellness, such as morning hydration to help residents stay hydrated throughout the day, and afternoon hand massages to create a calm, quiet time before our evening rituals.
Music therapy plays a significant role in Along the Journey,helping our neighbors communicate and feel joy. From live entertainers to individual playlists, music fosters social connections among our , residents, staff, and their memories.
