“Neighborhood of Hope” is a separate, secured memory support neighborhood where we provide skilled nursing services and therapy to those with Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of memory impairment. Ongoing, daily, normal life experiences are particularly critical to people with memory loss. The Pioneer Network’s Artifacts of Culture Change, Masterpiece Living, and mandatory ongoing education and training for our team guide us in identifying ways to provide the supportive environment needed for our residents to experience independence. These methods support improvement of self-esteem by offering consistent, positive experiences throughout the day. The inherent challenges of promoting freedom of choice and personal satisfaction in people with Alzheimers/Dementia requires continuous staff training which is provided for Westminster Village by Utilizing the CMS “Hand-in-Hand” series along with annual culture change education.
