New Alzheimers unit offers secure home environment
W 101013 WILLOW POND
Page Lynn, activities director of Willow Pond Senior Living Community, gives Erick Blitch of Hospice Advantage a tour of the facility's new Seasons Memory Care wing during Thursday's open house, while discussing how items and photographs from home can help stimulate the memories of Alzheimer's patients.
A new unit for Alzheimer’s patients at a local personal care home is expected to offer a bright environment designed with those with memory loss issues in mind. The Seasons Memory Center at Willow Pond Assisted Living opened in March, but an open house event Thursday brought visitors to tour the facility. Eight residents living in the Seasons Center enjoyed supper in a cozy dining room while visitors were guided through the self-contained unit, which can house up to 11 residents.
