GLOW℠ Memory Care
GLOW℠ Memory Care is a trusted approach to caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias
OUR GLOW℠ IS UNIQUELY OUR OWN
We preserve and celebrate each resident’s unique life story and legacy through customized approaches, compassionate expertise, and vibrant daily experiences. GLOW℠ unlocks each resident’s potential, supporting cognitive reserve, fostering choice, and enhancing their quality of life.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT AND BETTER
Holistic Care Rooted in Personalization
Families often tell us how GLOW℠ brings out the best in their loved ones — a renewed smile, energy, and spark that reminds them of their individuality. With personalized care and heartfelt connections, residents thrive in a place where they feel seen, valued, and truly at home.
Flexibility and Choice are Valued
We offer flexibility and choice. From menu choices at each mealtime to “dining on the run”, one-on-one engagement to group activities and social celebrations, to quiet moments of reflection, every experience is about helping a resident feel supported and fulfilled.
Adaptive, Science-Backed Care
We are committed to supporting residents by integrating the latest approaches to care based on research and science, ensuring that we provide the highest quality of support and assistance tailored to their unique needs. Our approach is adaptive; recognizing the needs of our residents evolve. This is not one-size-fits-all approach.
The Future of Dementia Care is Now
Through our investments in technology integrations, data pooling, and AI, GLOW℠ has become a revolutionary resource in analyzing residents’ experiences, identifying patterns and trends, and proactively delivering personalized support which improves our residents’ lives.
SIX PILLARS FOR A BRIGHT AND BALANCED LIFE
At the core of our exclusive GLOW℠ Memory Care are six foundational pillars which ensure every residents’ experience is as personal as their well-lived life. Legacy Preservation, Cognitive Engagement, Sensory Enrichment, Family Collaboration, Dining Experience, and Team Training each play their own pivotal role in the daily lives and overall well-being of our residents.
Legacy Preservation
Every resident has a story worth honoring. That’s why legacy preservation is at the heart of what we do. We take the time to get to know your loved one — their history, preferences, passions, and needs — so we can create connections that are personal and meaningful. We use detailed life stories to guide programming, communication, and daily routines that resonate with residents’ identities. We preserve and honor residents’ legacies by incorporating cherished memories, traditions, and milestones into daily activities and engagement opportunities.
Cognitive Engagement
Our approach to programming for cognitive levels at each stage of dementia including Alzheimer’s disease, and other memory-related diagnoses, focuses on identifying and understanding each resident’s cognitive activity levels and functional abilities. We aim to create programming that challenges residents intellectually while providing the right level of support to ensure activities are neither too hard or too easy. This ensures programming is engaging and nonfail, promoting a sense of accomplishment and well-being. We leverage parallel programming to ensure that all residents regardless of their cognitive level, find opportunities for engagement and joy.
Sensory Enrichment
Engaging the five senses in memory care is a powerful approach to enhance cognitive function, evoke positive emotions, increase memory recall, and improve the overall well-being of residents. We engage the five senses in two ways. First through cognitive-centered programing by involving sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch in our cognitive enrichment programs and second, through our neighborhood design and environmental support featuring such things as soothing color schemes, memory aids, lighting optimizations, and therapeutic spaces.
Family Collaboration
Caring for your loved one is a team effort, and your voice is an essential part of the journey. Together we work to ensure the residents’ happiness, care, and safety. We also want to express our understanding that family members may also need support, and we are here in many ways to help them. We can provide resources in all aspects of memory care, from knowledge to understanding, to coping and support services, and work to build a specific support system which makes them feel understood and comfortable.
Dining Experience
Dining is one of the most important parts of the day, offering more than just a meal — but a moment to connect and enjoy. Our restaurant-style dining features select choices of delicious and nutritious menu options to meet each residents’ preferences. We provide attentive service with our team anticipating needs and engaging with our residents throughout the experience. Meals are served in a calming environment to encourage connection and comfort. We also offer “dining on the run” for residents who need dining flexibility. The dining experience is customized to the residents’ needs and abilities, including how food is prepared and served.
Team Training
Every team member in our exclusive GLOW℠ Memory Care undergoes rigorous and continuous training in dementia care to deliver personalized services that promotes dignity, independence and understanding. Our caregivers are empowered and equipped with person-centered communication strategies, behavioral intervention techniques, and environmental modification guidance to ensure they can provide compassionate and effective care in all circumstances. This comprehensive approach ensures every team member works seamlessly as part of a unified team to create superior care experiences.
Memory Care Programming: Does It Really Slow Dementia Progression?
In this eye-opening podcast episode of The Disappearing Mind, host Dawn teams up with Maggie Mariello, National Assistant Director of Memory Care Programs to reveal the shocking difference between communities that simply house residents and those that ignite their minds daily. From the veteran who tends gardens using his landscape architecture expertise to the Juilliard graduate who regains speech through piano, you’ll discover how the right programming doesn’t just fill time—it preserves the person inside the disease. If you’re choosing between assisted living and memory care for your loved one, this episode could completely transform your decision and give you hope you didn’t know was possible.
