Enhanced Safety Available Only at The Heritage
As a special feature of our community, our memory care apartment homes are equipped with the AUGi monitoring system. Powered by predictive Artificial Intelligence, this tool is an in-room monitor that alerts our caregivers of behavior that could lead to a fall or one of many other medical emergencies. Unlike other reactive memory care safety monitoring tools, AUGi is predictive. It will monitor trends in your loved one’s behaviors and notify our care team of changes in your loved one’s condition that could indicate health and safety concerns. With this powerful tool, we are able to respond when we see behavior that could lead to a fall and are able to keep watch over every resident’s well-being 24 hours a day. Learn more about this safety-enhancing technology now available only at area Heritage Communities.

Family Involvement and Support
We want to hear from you! Sharing your loved one’s stories, preferences, and needs helps us provide more personalized and effective care. To ensure we’re meeting each resident’s needs, we hold a weekly Spotlight meeting where we review any resident who has exhibited a change in condition and may need additional care or support. We discuss their situation, determine the necessary changes to their care plan, and collaborate with the family to keep them informed. Additionally, we offer support resources and regular updates on your loved one’s progress so you can be confident they’re receiving the care they deserve.
