The Arbors at Monterey Village Senior Living offers a specialized memory care program designed to support individuals with Alzheimer's disease or memory loss. The Arbors memory care program focuses on engaging residents on a personal level, incorporating activities and social interactions that cater to their interests. The community takes a unique approach to memory care by prioritizing relationships over medication and technology. The Best Friends™ approach to memory care emphasizes respect, empathy, support, trust, and humor to create meaningful connections with residents.
Each resident at The Arbors has a personalized care plan that celebrates their life story, with updates made as their needs and interests evolve. The community provides a smaller, more intimate environment for memory care services, with neighborhoods featuring 16 suites and a central common area where residents can gather and socialize. The community takes time to engage with each resident before providing personal care services, ensuring a person-centered approach to care.
The Arbors at Monterey Village Senior Living offers a Multi-Sensory Environment (MSE) in their Snoezelen Room, which uses lighting effects, color, sounds, music, aromatherapy, and tactile materials to stimulate the senses and promote relaxation. The community encourages spontaneous engagement with individual friends and small groups, focusing on living in the moment and embracing the memories and moods of residents. Activities such as dancing, baking, and movie nights are driven by the unique preferences and experiences of each resident, creating a personalized and enriching environment for memory care residents.
