About Connection and Belonging

At most of our Vi continuing care communities and at our Classic Residence rental communities in Hollywood, Florida and Yonkers, New York, we offer an Alzheimer's/memory support program that helps residents maintain their sense of independence and dignity. Suited for residents with mild to moderate Alzheimer's and related cognitive conditions, the program focuses on meeting the social, emotional and physical needs of each resident, based on his or her individual needs. The program is focused on helping individuals embrace a fully engaged lifestyle.

A Focus on the Familiar

The soothing and relaxing residential setting is equipped with readily recognizable memory cues that use sight, sound and aroma to help orient residents and to instill a sense of familiarity into the surroundings.  A memory box at the entry to each suite honors, respects and celebrates the resident as a vibrant individual. 

Individual climate control and baths with easy-access showers and assist bars support physical comfort, while group and individual programs and events help promote independence and encourage connection.

The Alzheimer's/memory support program includes:

• Three meals each day, prepared under the supervision of a classically trained executive chef. Our chefs have received customized training by The Culinary Institute of America on nutrition, healthy cooking and baking techniques, flavor dynamics and food and wine pairing
• Weekly laundering of bed and bath linens
• Weekly light housekeeping service and daily light housekeeping, including bed making
