Freedom Court
A special home for people with Alzheimer’s disease and the caregivers who love them.

Freedom Court is a specialized area developed around the unique needs of residents with Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders. The environment is designed to encourage and support independence while ensuring safety. Freedom Court offers private and semi-private rooms, and a large family room, dining room and outdoor area that includes a garden with comfortable furniture. Background noise and other negative stimulation are greatly reduced and replaced with soothing sounds and soft lighting.

Because this is the Resident’s home, we strive to provide a comfortable, caring place that gives each resident a sense of security, belonging, trust and contentment. The goal of this specialized living unit is to improve the quality of life of residents in the moderate stages of dementia, emphasizing not what is lost, but what remains. Our professionally trained and consistently assigned staff promotes trusting relationships with the Resident as well as family members. Daily activities and socialization are used to encourage each Resident to achieve their personal best. Scheduled events by the activity department offer creativity with a focus on the Residents’ interests and abilities, while individualized activities are intended to redirect residents as needed. Daily housekeeping tasks such as folding, dusting and sweeping are often therapeutic and can make a Resident feel useful and productive. Our regular family meetings allow family members involvement in the care of their loved ones, while a monthly support group promotes education and sharing of common caregiver experiences.
