MORE THAN MEMORY CARE A Personalized Approach at Park Place of St. John At Park Place of St. John, memory care is more than a specialized unit; it is a deeply personal, carefully designed environment where individuals living with dementia are supported with dignity, compassion, and a commitment to whole-person care.
The newly opened 15-bed Memory Care program at Park Place of St. John fills a long- standing need in the St. John and greater Northwest Indiana communities. “We recognized that this level of care was missing,” said Megan Tengerstrom, Vice President of Operations. “And when we opened the doors, the need was immediate.”
What sets this program apart is its warm, home-like setting and philosophy of care that meets each resident where they are, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. The secure second- floor space includes a screened- in porch for fresh air, a cozy dining room, and a wandering system for safe independence. But what truly makes the dif- ference is the staff’s approach to every interaction.
