Connect to a More Personal, Passionate, and Human Approach to Memory Care
Our new memory care neighborhood at StoryPoint Kalamazoo is now open — and everything about it is built around our Connection Points Memory Care Approach. That approach is incredibly personal, down to how it was developed. Our Aging and Dementia Services Team used decades of firsthand experience to shape an approach that meets residents where they’re at in their dementia journey. All to give residents, team members, and families the best possible experience, one connection point at a time.
We know it can be a difficult time when a loved one begins experiencing dementia, Alzheimer’s, or other memory impairments. We’re here to guide you through this journey and help you find the right support for your loved one.
Our memory care neighborhood offers personalized, compassionate support for seniors with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other memory impairments. Built on our Connection Points Memory Care Approach — created by our own StoryPoint Group dementia experts — it pairs personalized support plans with specialized engagement and ongoing family involvement.
This new approach transforms memory care in every way. We evaluated everything we do to ensure the best possible experience for each resident. Ultimately, it comes down to making meaningful connections. Here are just a few of the reasons why our reimagined approach is crucial to how we share in our resident’s journeys together:
Creating the best possible experience for residents is the foundation of our Connection Points Memory Care approach. We do that by not only meeting people where they are on their journey with dementia, but by also working to make every interaction more personal and impactful. This mindset can be seen in everything from how we handle move-in to who we hire and what’s in our team members’ job descriptions. Because little changes make all the difference for residents and their families.
We never forget that residents’ families are also on a journey with dementia. So, where dementia can divide and isolate people, our Connection Points Memory Care approach finds ways to bring them together. Whether that’s by helping families feel more involved in their loved ones’ lives, or by creating a larger community where people affected by this disease never have to feel alone. Because when families connect, they help each other see what to celebrate and embrace during this journey.
Dementia robs people and families of so much, but it can’t take away who someone is. The biggest priority for our Connection Points Memory Care approach is making sure every resident is treated like the unique individual they are. Then we start finding what moves them and bring it to life. Because life in our neighborhoods isn’t about just filling the days — it’s about making the days fulfilling.
Our Connection Points Memory Care approach includes a science-backed approach to nutrition that nourishes both the body and the spirit. Malnutrition and dehydration are a real risk for those experiencing dementia, so our neighborhoods have innovative ways that encourage residents to eat, preventing maladies like weight loss and UTIs.
But our approach understands eating isn’t just important for physical health, so we turn every mealtime into an opportunity for residents to engage and connect.
When a memory care approach is built on connections, your team matters even more. The Connection Points Memory Care approach gives our team members the training, tools, and support they need to grow and be at their best. And in our experience, happier, better-trained employees stay longer, work harder, and make more meaningful connections with residents.
This part of the journey through dementia is never easy, but Connection Points is here to make it more personal, comfortable, and meaningful for residents and families. This is a chance to come together, to say goodbye, and to celebrate the life of a loved one. Beyond having hospice professionals available to help, our approach offers a supportive, soothing, and personalized environment during this transition.
