The Courtyard opened its doors January 2002 with
44 private apartments. It is a warm, limited access community created
to accommodate the needs of individuals with Alzheimer’s Disease and related memory losses. Our community is a place where the resident
has the freedom to maintain his or her individual routine, when
appropriate. We work to enable every resident to reach the greatest
possible independence and enjoyment in life.
Our goal is to provide compassionate care while preserving the
rights and dignity of our residents. However busy the residents are with activities, outings, and special events, we take time twice a week for rest and for a devotional. This is a treasured time
of our day. On Sunday there is a church service in the Courtyard
which includes communion.
Family involvement is an integral part of our success. We strive
to create partnerships with the families of our residents based
on mutual trust and respect. The Courtyard staff embraces the family
members in the same manner we embrace our residents. This is a unique
facet of our community.
Our dedicated employees and volunteers are our finest assets. Each
is specially trained to understand the needs of both the residents
and their families. They are the experts in dementia care.
