Each senior in our care has a unique life story, which is very important to how we care for him or her. The Varietas® Memory Care Program relies on what we learn about your loved one to comfort and connect with them in a warm and nurturing environment.
The Varietas® Program is a model of care for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and age-related memory impairments. Its tenets are proven to maximize the quality of life for these disorders.
The program is designed to create a true therapeutic environment, reducing stressful stimuli and fostering the natural rhythms of each day. A combination of therapeutic and positive stimulation—including expressive arts, exercise, nutrition, reminiscing, and cognitive activities—enhances social engagement with peers, families, and staff members.
