Our Care Philosophy for Assisted Living
Although your loved one may need some help with various activities of daily living (ADLs), The Heritage at Meridian Gardens does so in a respectful way that doesn’t impede on their daily lives or diminish their self-esteem. Our beloved team is here to make the quality of life for your loved one easier, creating a judgment-free environment that encourages independence and self-advocacy.
Before moving in, our team will meet your loved one in their home to learn more about their everyday activities, their preferences, and to assess their health and personal care needs. Upon completion of the assessment, our health care services team will prepare a comprehensive personalized service plan and determine their Level of Care.
At The Heritage at Meridian Gardens, we offer our specialized Snapshots program for residents with mild cognitive impairments who may be in the middle place between assisted living and memory care. Through wellness checks, facilitated small groups and one-on-one activities, and supplemental care, we promote mental and emotional wellness so your loved one can feel continuously engaged and supported within our community.
