Duxbury House at The Village Memory Care Residence is an inviting community dedicated exclusively to those living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of memory loss. Operated as part of a longstanding, family-owned tradition, Duxbury House places a strong emphasis on caring for residents as individuals, understanding that each person brings unique histories, interests, and abilities. The residence is purposefully designed to foster comfort and independence, featuring two intimate, self-contained households that each offer just 12 suites. This intentional layout provides a warm, close-knit environment where residents are surrounded by familiar faces and supported by a compassionate team, encouraging meaningful participation in community life and daily routines.
Ease of navigation is a hallmark of the residence, with suites and common areas crafted to accommodate those with memory impairment. The environment incorporates dementia-friendly elements, soothing decor, and open, supportive spaces to promote well-being and reduce anxiety or confusion. Fresh, chef-prepared meals and healthy snacks are served daily in a homelike setting, nourishing both body and spirit and contributing to a sense of comfort and normalcy.
Duxbury House prioritizes a holistic approach to care by providing a robust schedule of programs, activities, and outings, all tailored to the varied interests and abilities of the residents. A full-time Life Enrichment Coordinator, along with dedicated Activities Assistants, ensures that residents have opportunities to engage in pursuits that give them joy and purpose while maintaining familiar routines. This focus on enrichment encourages positive moments each day, supporting both mental and physical health.
The care provided at Duxbury House relies on a team of full-time Resident Care Assistants (RCAs) who are onsite 24/7. With a high RCA-to-resident ratio, caregivers are able to devote more time to each individual, creating trusting relationships and developing communication styles that help alleviate frustration, fear, or anxiety. The focus on continuity of care brings additional comfort, as both residents and their families can count on consistent support from people who truly know and understand them.
