Personalized Activities, Familiar Routines
At our Highland community, each day is organized to feel both familiar and engaging. Residents follow routines that are consistent and easy to navigate, helping reduce confusion while providing a sense of accomplishment.
Activities are tailored to personal preferences and include a mix of movement, music, creativity, and cognitive engagement. Residents might work on crafts, join a group for reminiscence-based word games, or spend quiet time in the garden. Every activity is purposeful—chosen to spark recognition, joy, or calm.
Meals are served family-style to reflect the comforts of home. Consistent seating, simple table settings, and gently guided assistance help make mealtimes enjoyable and stress-free. We recognize that food is more than nutrition—it’s part of connection and identity.

Our Highland location was built for memory care from the ground up. Each neighborhood within the community includes just 17 private apartments, along with shared gathering spaces and easy access to enclosed outdoor patios.
Hallways flow openly to avoid disorientation. Visual cues help residents move independently. Natural light fills the space. Every element—from soft colors to intuitive layouts—is meant to encourage peace and familiarity.
