The Gardens Dementia Unit

The philosophy of the dementia special care unit at The Gardens in Chestnut Hill is to meet the individual needs of people living with Alzheimer's or related diseases. We strive to provide a home like environment in which residents can participate in daily living activities at their highest level of functioning. Residents are encouraged to take part in meaningful and appropriate activities through which they can feel pleasure and experience success.

The dementia unit provides space that is secure, comforting and non-threatening. It offers a familiar frame of reference, reduces confusion and offers freedom to move about in an unrestricted space. Within the Alzheimer's unit, highly trained staff creates specific programs that promote each patient’s capabilities fully, and minimize those stresses that can aggravate the symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer's.
