The staff of Foothill Acres understand
the special needs of people with Alzheimer's disease and related
dementia. We strive to understand the stories and details
of a person's life so we can offer individualized care.
We provide a safe, loving environment
in which we nurture the spirit.
We find ways to involve residents
in everyday activities based on their past interests and
allow them to utilize remaining skills and abilities.
We focus on the resident's remaining
strengths and try to maximize their independence.
We offer life review and reminisce
tapping into long term memory and helping seniors to express
pride in accomplishments. This also enhances the relationship
with caregivers, as we are able to understand the essence
of who the person is.
We understand challenging behaviors
and offer individualized interventions based on a person's
history.
Our Social Services department
offers family support and counseling.
