Emerald Glen Memory Care Plus stands as a specialized memory care community dedicated to providing a supportive and comfortable environment for individuals facing cognitive challenges. Constructed with careful attention to the unique needs of those with memory impairments, the facility’s architecture reflects an understanding of the everyday hurdles residents may encounter. The building features short hallways to ease way-finding and reduce confusion, as well as secure outdoor courtyards that allow residents the freedom to wander safely and enjoy the outdoors. For those who enjoy watching the world go by, a securely enclosed front patio offers an inviting space to observe passing cars and activity in comfort.
Inside, the community prioritizes a sense of familiarity and belonging. Resident rooms range from 200 to 300 square feet, providing ample space for personal furnishings and mementos that help each individual create a true feeling of "home." Each room is equipped with a private bathroom for dignity and privacy. While some rooms are spacious enough to comfortably accommodate two people, Emerald Glen acknowledges that sharing living space with a stranger can sometimes be unsettling for those with memory loss. Couples are warmly welcomed, providing residents the choice and comfort of sharing space with a loved one if desired.
Dining is thoughtfully approached with two distinct dining areas designed to serve all residents with dignity and respect, ensuring that every meal is more than just nourishment—it is an experience imbued with care. The overall ambiance throughout Emerald Glen is enriched with vintage memorabilia and a variety of objects to look at and touch, all intended to spark memories and inspire residents to share their stories. The community recognizes that cognitive impairment rarely exists in isolation, and the environment is specifically crafted to encourage interaction, reminiscence, and connection.
The underlying philosophy at Emerald Glen Memory Care Plus is to treat every resident as an individual, with attention to personal history and preferences. The setting is intentionally modeled to feel less like an institution or cruise ship and more like a true home, fostering warmth, comfort, and familiarity. The team at Emerald Glen dedicates themselves to listening, supporting, and creating meaningful experiences, always hoping residents and their families discover a renewed sense of joy and purpose within the community.
