The Arbors At Centennial Pointe is a specialized memory care program, thoughtfully integrated within the community of Centennial Pointe Senior Living. This setting is dedicated to supporting individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of memory loss. The approach at The Arbors is deeply personal, aiming to alleviate the challenges faced by families and residents alike, and centers around each person’s unique life story, interests, and evolving needs.
One of the distinguishing features of The Arbors At Centennial Pointe is the adoption of the Best Friends™ approach to memory care. This philosophy encourages building meaningful, trusting relationships between residents and care partners through respect, empathy, support, trust, and humor. Instead of relying solely on medication and technology, The Arbors places value on human connection as a form of powerful therapy. The care team continually updates each resident’s personalized care plan, adapting it in response to changes in interests and needs, ensuring that traditions and achievements are always honored.
The environment at The Arbors is intentionally designed to be intimate and nurturing. Each memory care neighborhood consists of just 16 suites, creating a comfortable and manageable community size. Central common areas foster opportunities for residents to gather, often starting their days together with their preferred morning beverage. The commitment to attentive care is evident in daily practices, as staff members take the time to engage with residents before providing any assistance, nurturing a sense of belonging and value for each individual.
A unique offering at The Arbors is the Snoezelen Room, a Multi-Sensory Environment (MSE) engineered to support both stimulation and relaxation. This calming space incorporates lighting effects, color, sound, music, aromatherapy, and tactile materials to gently engage the senses. The objective is to soothe anxiety or sadness, helping residents feel safe and at ease in their surroundings.
Spontaneous engagement is a hallmark of life at The Arbors At Centennial Pointe. Rather than following rigid calendars, the community embraces living in the moment. Activities emerge organically from the residents’ moods and memories, whether it’s dancing, baking, or enjoying a film. This flexible and responsive approach to daily life ensures that each resident’s preferences and well-being are at the forefront of their care, creating a vibrant, supportive, and meaningful home environment.
