Memory Support at Vi at Grayhawk

Vi at Grayhawk offers a comfortable, structured memory support environment designed to enhance the well-being of residents with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s and related cognitive conditions.

Canvas by Vi, our hallmark memory support program, provides care that treats every resident not just as a patient, but as a whole person. Our compassionate approach helps each resident live their most remarkable retirement in a way that meets their personal and independent needs.

We deliver enriching experiences through our expertise, resources and a unique wellness approach. With Canvas, you’ll find the same exceptional experience that you’ve come to expect from us throughout the rest of the continuum of care.

We get to know every resident as a person—their interests, hobbies, preferences, history and day-to-day life—to provide care and support that’s anything but cookie-cutter.

What to expect with memory support

Our memory support staff meets with family members and creates a customized care plan with specialized programs and services designed to meet each resident’s unique needs.

In addition, we offer a range of services and amenities, including daily housekeeping service, personal laundry, and laundering of bed and bath linens. Even meal time is designed to be easier for memory support residents, with carefully selected, easy-to-handle menu items and tablecloths, napkins and tableware in contrasting colors to decrease confusion. Plus, all meals are prepared with care under the supervision of our executive chef.

Activities in memory support

 We offer a variety of activities designed to engage memory support residents:

  • Walking, dancing and structured exercises to maintain muscle strength and flexibility
  • Montessori Method–based activities to support motor skills and concentration, as well as build self-esteem
  • Social hours for residents to share memories, tell stories and reminisce
  • Scheduled outings and activities
Support for families

Vi at Grayhawk helps families with educational resources to help them learn about dementia and how it will affect their loved ones. Our care center can also refer families to area support groups.

The memory care environment
Common areas

Common areas are designed to foster daily connections, stimulate memory and offer meaningful experiences.

Two comfortable great rooms encourage social interaction among residents and their families. We also have a specially designed secure Memory Garden that features interactive musical instruments, standing planters, stimulating art, and a paved walking path, which allow residents to enjoy the familiar sights and sounds of the outdoors.

Memory support fees
Fees for continuing care residents

Residents who are contracted with Vi for continuing care will continue to pay their independent living monthly fee after moving to our care center. Monthly fees do not change when residents move to a higher level of care, but ongoing, community-wide fee increases will continue to apply. There are charges for ancillary items and additional meals received while in our care center.

Fees for spouses who remain in independent living

If a resident and their spouse are both contracted for continuing care and only one requires a higher level of care, one spouse will remain in independent living while the other moves to our care center. Both residents will continue to pay the monthly fee paid while residing in independent living. Their monthly fees will not change because of a move to a higher level of care, but ongoing, community-wide monthly fee increases will continue to apply. In addition, there are charges for ancillary items and additional meals received while in our care center.

Fees for non-CCRC residents

For non-CCRC residents, costs for direct entry to our care center are charged at the current market rates.

We accept Traditional Medicare (Parts A & B) and Private Pay, and where the circumstances allow, we can process payment from other participating third-party or private insurance coverages.
