Wadleigh House stands as a thoughtfully designed, intimate-sized memory care residence offering a new vision for those living with dementia. With inspiration drawn from the Montessori method, Wadleigh House emphasizes a holistic approach to resident well-being, seamlessly weaving together proven rehabilitation techniques and educational principles to foster greater engagement and enriched experiences. The residence, embracing no more than twelve individuals at a time, creates a personalized and nurturing environment where each resident receives attentive, 24/7 personal care. The environment is intentionally intimate to ensure every individual is recognized and supported with both dignity and compassion.
Central to Wadleigh House's philosophy is the Montessori-Based Dementia Programming, which reimagines memory care by harnessing residents’ existing cognitive and physical abilities. This innovative approach, called the Montessori-Inspired Lifestyle, is designed to create meaningful moments throughout the day. Residents are encouraged to participate in activities that stimulate their minds and bodies, promoting not just memory retention but a greater quality of life overall. The programming emphasizes daily engagement, comfort, autonomy, and respect, allowing residents to simply live better as life goes on.
The home itself is a charming colonial-style house, easily identified by its white exterior and green shutters, surrounded by carefully landscaped grounds. A brick walkway invites visitors to the entrance, lined with lilies and hostas, leading to serene patio seating areas. Inside, cozy living spaces such as a warm den with a black leather couch and a fireplace offer comfort and a sense of belonging. There is special attention to detail throughout the home, from the yellow-painted walls that give warmth to the, welcoming atmosphere, to the outdoor areas with their cushioned wicker seating and white picket fences, all designed to provide a tranquil and homelike environment.
Wadleigh House’s approach, described as Integrated Holistic Therapies paired with the Montessori-Inspired Lifestyle, ensures the physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being of every resident. The environment allows for privacy as well as social connection, supporting residents in the ways most meaningful to them. Awarded for senior living, the residence takes pride in helping families and their loved ones experience quiet comfort and care, with the belief that every moment matters.
