Memory Care

Varietas Memory Care Program

Varietas Memory Care Program

Every senior has a unique life story. Their stories are made up of a rich tapestry of memories that they hold dear. These special memories can help guide the personalized care you receive in Memory Care at Traditions.

Studies show that socialization has a positive impact on seniors and can reduce, even prevent the signs of depression. So, each resident's Daily Routine consists of their own combination of therapeutic and positive stimulation, including expressive arts, exercise, nutrition, reminiscing, cognitive activities and social engagement with peers, staff and families.

The Varietas® Memory Care Program by Traditions is our unique, specialized program for individuals living with Alzheimer’s or other age-related dementias.
