The Personalized Assisted Living Promise: “Respect for Individual Preferences”

Ø  The Supportive Dining Environment incorporates small dining rooms with consistent seating to support the challenges of those with dementia. This encourages familiarity and socialization while supporting the needs of the residents through the assignment of resident care assistants.
