Memory Care Community

The Bay
The Standard
Promoting lively, fun and meaningful moments while honoring choice are what really matter.

Each resident will have a strength based service plan developed that is tailored to their individual abilities and challenges while striving to most closely replicate their prior lifestyle, interests, familiarities and routines. Family members and authorized representatives play a vital and cooperative role with staff in the creation of this plan. We believe that a stable, friendly, relatively simple environment, placing few demands on the resident will tend to minimize the likelihood of associated challenging behaviors often caused by rigid approaches to meet the demands of a dictating clock or by the environment itself. We must support residents where they are cognitively instead of forcing them into our reality, placing unrealistic expectations upon them. Consistency and flexibility are both critical to balanced activities of daily living.

Grace Hall is a fully alarmed, secured and safe environment with an enclosed outside patio Psychosocial well-being, peer support and communication are essential for loved ones and caregivers. The family is an integral part of the care giving team and works closely with the staff as well as receives educational, emotional support and assistance during visits. Grace Hall fosters a spirit where friendships and loving relationships are freely formed by all whom are connected. These relationships create a special environment which gives Grace Hall the family feel. Humor is a necessary ingredient to managing the associated stressors for residents, families and staff. Promoting lively, fun and meaningful moments while honoring choice are what really matter.
