Memory Care Assisted Living at Friendship Village Tempe offers a supportive and compassionate environment tailored for individuals struggling with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. The team at Friendship Village Tempe understands the challenges faced by residents and their families, recognizing that every person’s journey with memory loss is unique. With this in mind, they work closely alongside families to develop customized care plans that consider not only each resident's care needs but also their preferences, routines, and history. Visitors are encouraged, as family involvement is seen as fundamental to the residents’ well-being and helps maintain vital connections from the past.
A cornerstone of the memory care services at Friendship Village Tempe is the Heartfelt CONNECTIONS – A Memory Care Program®, a nationally recognized approach that focuses on the abilities and life story of each resident. Rather than dwelling solely on the aspects of memory that have faded, Heartfelt CONNECTIONS seeks to celebrate and engage the skills and memories that remain. Unique reminiscence tools are used to uncover details about each resident’s life—such as family, friends, career, hobbies, and personal likes or dislikes. These insights then become the foundation for individualized programs and activities designed to foster emotional and physical wellness, prolong daily functioning, and promote a sense of purpose, satisfaction, and dignity.
Residents at Friendship Village Tempe receive continuous care and supervision, ensuring safety and support are maintained at all times. Staff members are available 24/7 to attend to residents’ needs and provide reassurance to families that their loved ones are being cared for with attentiveness and respect. The community is structured to encourage a comforting daily routine for each resident, which not only nurtures familiarity but also uplifts and engages them on a personal level.
Friendship Village Tempe provides memory care services in both assisted living and skilled nursing settings, offering the flexibility to adjust the level of care seamlessly should a resident’s needs change over time. This continuum of care approach allows residents to remain within a community where they are known and valued, minimizing disruption and supporting stability. The goal is for every individual to experience the highest possible quality of life, even in the face of cognitive decline. By blending customized programming, specialized memory support, and a compassionate team, Friendship Village Tempe stands committed to both residents’ and families’ peace of mind and comfort.
