Garden Courte Memory Care is a premier senior living community in Olympia, Washington. Memory care is our specialty. No matter where you are in life’s journey, home is meant to be a place of comfort and security. Opportunely, we provide those means here! Our dedicated staff treat our residents with dignity and respect. We offer an ideal setting for memory care services, respite care and visitation. In addition, our building is a stone’s throw from Providence St. Peter Hospital. Ultimately, our neighborhood offers you or your loved one a beautiful blend of privacy, safety, security, and community. Collectively, these elements create a warm and familiar environment that supports the aging journey of our residents.
Each month, we provide our community with a well-sourced article with intentions of educating the elderly community and their families. Caring for loved ones with dementia or Alzheimer’s requires a team of trustworthy people and abundant support. Offering a weekly education piece may provide a piece of insight you or your loved one needs today that they didn’t need yesterday! Ultimately, we want to offer seniors and their families support throughout the entire aging process.
This month, the focus is on a positive, calming body language! Talking with a loved one with dementia can be difficult. This is because the condition has changed the way they hear, process and respond to conversation. This article focuses on strategies on how to approach your loved ones in a way they can engage and feel safe with. It’s a 4 minute read, so buckle in and take what you need!
Specialty Memory Care for those with Alzheimer’s Disease and Memory Loss
OUR ENVIRONMENT is monitored by specially trained professional staff. We know each resident’s life path and personal history is unique. We take the time to know their stories and personalize their care to create experiences that are meaningful for them..
OUR LIFE ENRICHMENT PROGRAM is based on a fulfilling range of individual and structured group activities. We tailor activities for each resident’s skills and limitations. Helping people rediscover ways to enjoy everyday activities and make the most out of their life as their abilities decline is our duty. Many activities are considered Montessori style, where they are led and directed by our residents!
OUR PHILOSOPHY at Garden Courte is to build on a person’s strengths and encourage personal independence. This philosophy is something we believe deeply in and will never waver from.
Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of memory loss can be a frustrating and challenging experience. Making the decision to move them into a memory care community can be just as difficult. Garden Courte offers living options that provide a peace of mind knowing your loved one is in an environment surrounded by staff who provide around-the-clock care. Our team is supportive of your loved one’s interests. This is a warm and inviting place. We furnish the building comfortably and tastefully. Our open-floor concept makes for spacious dining, living and recreational spaces. Resident rooms are attractive and can accommodate favorite pieces of furniture. The enclosed courtyards and outside walking areas are well manicured and offer another space for wellness.

Respite Care is a short-term stay in a fully furnished apartment. We provide all of our care services to your loved one during their stay. Garden Courte Memory Care hopes to offer a solution for a variety of situations. To all caregivers, providing care at home, we see you. We know unique situations arise and we are here to help.

• A family member or caregiver is going on vacation, and a loved one needs a temporary place to stay while they are away. • Caregivers need a break from caregiving but are adamant about providing a high-quality care setting for their loved one. • You or your loved ones are still deciding on memory care and would like to try our facility for a short time before making a final decision.
