At Capitol Lakes, we know the impact Alzheimer’s and other memory-impairing diseases can have on families. That’s why we offer a specialized Memory Support Program with a combination of specially trained staff, adaptive programs, and purposeful physical space to enable residents and their families to find joy and meaning each day.
Our deliberate approach to memory support seeks to minimize behaviors associated with dementia and restore idyllic, peaceful feelings from the past. We tailor our approach based on each individual’s values, strengths, desires, and needs, and believe it is important to focus on the history of each individual’s life and the contributions they’ve made.
Our program is designed to emphasize the positive, to promote a sense of purpose, and to build self-confidence. We don’t challenge residents to adapt to our environment; we adapt our environment to support the unique needs of each person we serve.
