Memory Care Neighborhood
Along the Journey is Priority Life Care’s memory care programming. The Along the Journey program was created for our seniors with memory impairments and to develop strong relationships between families and caregivers. A successful transition involves supporting the resident in their new environment and being a resource for the family.
Goals of Along the Journey:
- Create a safe and comfortable environment for residents
- Provide consistent, well-trained caregivers specific to dementia care
- Provide care based on residents’ abilities and needs, with respect to the individual’s culture and preferences
- Achieve the highest quality of life possible for residents through cueing and assistance
- Be a resource and provide support to families, staff and other residents
At Independence Court of Monroeville, we use activities to help reduce residents’ agitation, improve their moods, and encourage social interaction. Popular activities include morning coffee (hydration) and news, listening to music, spiritual programs, ice cream socials, reminiscing, trivia, and puzzles. One-on-one sensory activities may also be used to help residents relax and have a good night’s rest.

“My brother settled in well, and the staff is very caring and encourage him to be a part of activities. He likes his room and courtyard where he can go and sit outside. He does enjoy the food and there are options on the menu to choose if he does not want what is being served. I would recommend setting up a tour of this community.”
