Memory Care
A Supportive And Caring Environment For All
A t Lutheran SeniorLife, we understand the importance of providing a nurturing and supportive environment for individuals with memory impairments. One of the distinguishing features of our memory care services is its emphasis on creating an engaging environment to promote cognitive stimulation and foster a sense of purpose and belonging. From specially curated activities, therapeutic programs and shadow boxes of momentous to thoughtfully designed living spaces, residents are surrounded by opportunities for meaningful interaction and personal fulfillment. Within our communities – St. John and Passavant – we have the capacity to serve residents with cognitive and physical ailments including personal care, skilled nursing and long-term care. St. John Community: Resident & Family Support “At St. John Community, we embrace the journey of memory care with compassion, dignity, and personalized support,” explained Samantha Rapuk, Executive Director of the St. John Community. “Our commitment goes beyond memory – it’s about fostering moments of joy,
connection, and empowerment for every individual; enriching their lives and honoring their unique legacy.” That commitment is demonstrated through the memory support services available at the St. John Specialty Care Center’s Creekside Path (nursing facility care) and Edgewood Grove (personal care). Furthermore, the St. John Community includes RoseCrest, an assisted living facility specializing in memory care. With 30 private rooms, RoseCrest provides state-of-the-art memory support alongside daily activities tailored to foster creativity, social interaction, and self-esteem. “Here at RoseCrest we treat the residents like family,” said Dana Bradley, PCHA, ALA Director of Residential Living. “We treat them as if they were our mother, grandmother, father, uncle, or aunt and take the time to spend with them to understand what they are feeling… what they need… and how we can best provide the care they need.” “I can’t say enough about the staff,” said Cherri Smith, daughter of resident, 92-year-old, Margie Kennedy. “The nurses are great. The aides are fantastic. My mother loves these people, and they love her.”
