Using innovative care techniques and life enrichment programming, Expressions provides people living with dementia an outlet for creativity through five aspects of healthy aging. Most importantly, we take care of the details so that you can focus on the more positive aspects of your relationship with your loved one. Expressions is designed to make our residents feel accepted, important, and comfortable… at home.
A memory care community should create an environment in which the affected individual can live a productive, active and meaningful life. We apply the lessons of friendship when providing care. Friendships often form based on mutual activities and doing things together. As we continue to do activities with our residents, relationships built on trust and respect will naturally develop.
We work with Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia expert David Troxel, MPH, who helped pioneer the Best Friends™ Approach, which states that what a person with dementia needs most of all is a “Best Friend”. This can be a family member, friend, or staff member who empathizes with their situation, remains loving and positive, and is dedicated to helping the person feel safe, secure and valued.
It’s a very rich program with physical, spiritual and emotional wellness, and even good food and friendship and company. I think it's a very contemporary program…One thing I like about Expressions is that they keep it fresh and new...The fact that Prestige brings out new campaigns and music and new ideas and new games and new strategies, I think it's very refreshing for people living with dementia.

Exercise is critical for those with Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias, as research shows that exercise can slow the progression of the disease. Our residents engage in regular physical activities led by trained staff who can help them stay fit and active.
Tasty Expressions activities celebrate the joy and pleasure that can come from food. Food provides nutrition, a chance for socialization and an opportunity to reminisce about favorite foods and recipes. It stimulates the senses and builds social bonds with other residents and caregivers.
These activities celebrate the creative spirit in us all. Research has established that those with Alzheimer’s and related dementias often experience a spike in creativity. Artistic Expressions celebrates and encourages imagination involving the arts, poetry and music.
These Expressions activities emphasize the value and benefit of lifelong learning. We used to believe that those with dementia could not learn and retain information, however, new research indicates that many actually can continue learning. Even those who are profoundly forgetful can still enjoy the experience of learning. Our team helps find appropriate opportunities for our residents to continue their educational journey.
Spirituality means different things to different people. For some people, it is a connection with God, or a higher being. For others, it is an experience of awe, focused attention, or mental discipline. Spiritual Expressions activities enable each person to develop inner peace through their own spiritual journey. Our team members work with our residents and families to find ways to create those moments of spiritual joy.
