Assisted Living

Expressions Memory Care

It’s all about rhythm.

When an illness or disability brings about memory loss, confusion or disorientation, these people need special care. Activity programs designed for healthy adults are often too stressful for a person with dementia.

Expressions Memory Care is different. It’s based on the philosophy that activity is more effective when it’s becomes a rhythm of everyday life.

We focus on the activities of daily living, which are challenging enough for individuals with memory care needs. We incorporate effective communication and memory keys into a personalized program that accommodates each individual’s unique interests and abilities.

Most importantly, we take care of the details so you can focus on the more positive aspects of the relationship with your loved one.

PEP – Personal Exercise Program

PEP is a personal exercise program developed by Prestige Senior Living to enhance the independence, strength and energy of assisted living residents. The optional program supports aging by helping residents stay healthy, safe and strong. Participants also benefit from improved circulation, greater endurance, better balance and an overall boost in energy.

The program is based on an individualized program of simple exercises developed by the PEP coordinator according to physician recommendations and the resident’s personal goals. Results are monitored continually and the program is modified if needs change.

The PEP coordinator also oversees each session and provides participants with one-on-one encouragement and assistance as needed – similar to a personal trainer.

If appropriate, the coordinator may suggest that the resident ask their primary care physician for a referral to a physical or occupational therapist. The coordinator may also work closely with resident’s physical, occupational or other therapist to help complete a prescribed exercise regime or continue recommended exercise after therapy is discontinued.

Hospice Care

The end of life is a period in which every individual deserves compassion, dignity and respect. Our Hospice services provide our residents with the medical care and emotional support they need to make the most of the final chapters of their lives.

Our focus is to help relieve pain and other symptoms so residents can live comfortable and alert while maintaining a reasonable course of medical care 24 hours a day. We work cooperatively with the resident and their family to coordinate the delivery of psychological, emotional and spiritual support consistent with each resident’s beliefs and wishes.

We honor living wills or advance directives and welcome the involvement of outside counselors, therapists, social workers, aides and volunteers. Visitors of all ages are also welcome to visit residents under hospice care at any time during the day or night.
