OUR TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS IS HAND-PICKED

If you don’t love our residents, then you can’t work at New Dawn. We select all of our employees for their heart, positive attitude, patience and willingness to provide the very best care and service for each resident every day. And just to be sure, our employees undergo background checks. We provide ongoing training and coaching, and our CPR-trained staff completes training by the Alzheimer’s Association.

FAMILIAR, HOME-LIKE DESIGN WELCOMES RESIDENTS

Individuals with memory loss are more comfortable in small, familiar, residential settings. New Dawn offers three single-story buildings of 16 private rooms with full bathrooms. Our interior décor is designed to appeal to our residents, not just their children and grandchildren. We understand that too many “things” can be over-stimulating and stressful so we avoid clutter and have quiet areas and a bathing spa for relaxation. Our homes evoke happy memories, such as Craftsmen-style furnishings, soothing colors and even a “retro” refrigerator in our kitchen. Residents enjoy our sunroom, activities room and an on-site beauty/barber shop because we know they want to look their best.

TOGETHER WE WORK TO MAKE EACH MOMENT COUNT

Each of us travels our own life journey and though we can’t always control life, we can strive to live life to the fullest. At New Dawn, we respect our residents’ history, as well as their present. We focus on creating the very best days for every resident and family member. When confusion and frustration cause anxiety, we “re-direct” rather than correct.  We learn all we can about the individuals’ likes and dislikes and help them to continue the activities they know and love. Each resident has a personalized plan and often, they find new interests that bring joy to their lives

While we acknowledge that currently there is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease and many other forms of memory impairment, there is evidence that proper nutrition, “brain exercises,” appropriate medication, exercise and health monitoring can influence residents’ daily abilities, health and quality of life. Our programs and services are designed with input from national experts, as well as family members and potential residents and include:

• Special diets (omega 3, vitamin-enriched) and hydration programs
• Our activity program—Cognitive Action Therapy
• Techniques (CATT), a specially-designed program to maintain cognitive abilities for as long as possible
• Exercise programs with strength training
• Music for the soul
• Complementary therapies, such as aroma therapy, massage and reflexology (some at additional costs)
• The Alzheimer’s Association art program for interested residents
• Continence training
• Fall prevention programs
• Assistance in arranging physical, speech and occupational therapy
