“The staff cared to know my father as a person.”

“My father spent the last couple of months of his life in The Elms Carriage House. The care he received was wonderful. What impressed me even more though was the care shown for my mother as my father’s daily visitor. The staff always made sure she was well fed, emotionally supported and frequently ask after her own well being.”

– Martha, daughter of memory care resident; from senioradvisor.com.

Two Communities Devoted to Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care

The Carriage House and Chestnut Cottage at The Elms have been recognized as leaders in providing safe, supportive care for residents dealing with the effects of memory loss and dementia.

Specialized Care

The progression of memory loss requires special care for those living in assisted senior living communities. Our specially-trained staff is focused on supporting the remaining cognitive abilities for our residents with Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias.

A High Staff to Resident Ratio

We maintain a staffing ratio that insures the proper development and execution of individual care plans.

Our team of professionally trained and experienced nurses, certified nursing assistants, resident care providers and master trainers work collaboratively each day to ensure our seniors are living full and meaningful lives.

Activities Specifically Designed for Memory Loss

Providing “meaningful activities” to ensure residents enjoy positive physical, social and spiritual lives.

“Joining the journey” of seniors with Alzheimer’s and other dementias is important, because it is the act of “doing” that matters the most, not the end result.

We expand on this concept by conducting a cultural assessment of each resident to learn more about them and their interests.

The end results are individualized care plans that include “meaningful activities” that help our seniors live purposeful and happy lives.

  • Arts and crafts
  • Music and dance
  • Live entertainment
  • Cooking projects
  • Daily exercises
  • Visit from the clergy
  • Weekly rides to the country or seashore in our bus

Providing Safe, Comfortable, and Empowered Lifestyles

Enjoy the charm of Victorian architecture, spacious and relaxing community rooms and outdoor spaces, a vibrant and historic downtown and local community, and award-winning care that is always close at hand.
