We understand each person’s unique history and preferences, practice skillful communication, and craft an environment that fosters genuine engagement. We’re not just caregivers – we’re companions on a shared journey. And we’re dedicated to ensuring the dignity of those with memory loss.

Life Enrichment
At Encore’s Memory Care communities, we focus on creating life enrichment programs to keep our residents active and engaged, and which can be highly beneficial for individuals with memory challenges.
Encore Communities has a variety of group activities planned every day. Depending on the resident’s abilities, these may include:
- Music Therapy: Music therapy sessions, where residents listen to and participate in music-making, can evoke emotions, improve mood, and even stimulate memories.
- Art and Craft Workshops: Creative activities like painting, drawing, or crafting can provide a therapeutic outlet for residents. These activities stimulate the senses, encourage self-expression, and offer a sense of accomplishment.
- Reminiscence Therapy: Reminiscence activities involve discussing past experiences and memories, using artifacts, photos, or themed discussions. This can help residents connect with their personal histories, share stories, and foster a sense of identity.
- Gardening and Nature Activities: Engaging with nature through gardening activities can be therapeutic for individuals in memory care. Creating accessible gardens or organizing outdoor nature walks provides residents with a sensory-rich experience.
- Exercise and Movement Classes: Physical activity is important for both physical and mental well-being. Tailored exercise classes, such as chair yoga, gentle stretching, or dance, can be adapted to the residents’ abilities.
