Memory care at Geer Village Senior Community provides a specialized and compassionate approach for individuals diagnosed with memory-related illnesses, such as Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias. The program is built on the principle that each resident’s independence should be maximized through personalized clinical care, meaningful daily social interaction, and therapeutic activities. This ensures residents maintain a sense of purpose and fulfillment, even as their needs evolve.
For those requiring more advanced support, Geer Nursing and Rehabilitation Center offers a continuum of skilled nursing, rehabilitation services, long-term care, compassionate end-of-life care, and specialized attention for individuals with memory impairments.
