Persons living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and other forms of Memory loss receive person centered care in a pleasant, loving and home-like environment. Highland’s specially trained staff is taught to focus on providing a Quality of Life environment for all its residents. Quality of Life is achieved through offering meaningful
personal choices, by respecting each person’s individual dignity, by treating everyone with kindness, patience, and compassion, and through comprehensive sensory stimulation every day. Families who have come to Highland are delighted that their loved ones are more active and less agitated and that they are more stimulated and less bored here. Highland is remarkably successful in serving individuals with chronic behavior issues that often have resulted in forced discharge from other long term care facilities. For most residents Highland is the place they choose to stay through the end of life, no more upsets from forced moves from place to place to place and fewer repeated admissions to the hospital.
