A Unique Approach to Memory Care

SALMON's Tapestry program goes far beyond “best practices”. We use proven approaches, continuous improvement and effective innovation in memory care.

By providing a simplified, familiar environment at Whitney Place, we minimize mood swings and reduce stress, which can contribute to memory loss. For example, we fill our residents' days with daily patterns to provide reassurance and recognition within our assisted living community.

The six vital aspects of a person’s well-being are woven throughout all we do:

• Physical Wellness

• Occupational Wellness

• Social Wellness

• Intellectual Wellness

• Emotional Wellness

• Spiritual Wellness

Innovative Practices in Memory Care

SALMON residents in our Tapestry memory care program want to enjoy the day and feel successful. They benefit from a sense of order, familiarity and comfort supported by our therapeutic design. From focused to low-key activities, based on time of day, our dynamic daily programming at Whitney Place provides structure and engagement while allowing for flexibility and personalization.

Parallel programming during group activities, for example, allows us to meet the specific needs, interests and abilities of our Tapestry residents in SALMON's assisted living communities. In this way, we account for individual differences, so that all are welcomed and fulfilled.

Expert Memory Care Staff

The skilled, respectful and compassionate staff of Whitney Place's Tapestry memory care program receive ongoing training far beyond required minimums. We provide robust clinical oversight of physical and occupational therapy, as well as dietary, dementia and medical care for seniors.

SALMON's Tapestry team puts into action what current research has found to be effective. They connect with residents in memory care using the best techniques for communicating with people in different stages of dementia and know how and when to step in to engage each individual. We encourage our staff to build trust and establish predictability by developing close relationships with their residents.

Specialized Setting

With a deep understanding of the challenges of living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, we've designed our Tapestry neighborhood to be accessible, comfortable and familiar. From the layout of apartments and common areas to the materials, colors and furnishings to the security measures, everything is thoughtfully chosen with our residents' needs in mind.

Our memory care residences feature personal belongings and enhancements that foster safety and autonomy. Leisure areas feature nostalgic elements for reliving memories, which can be a great source of comfort. And residents can both dine and help with tasks around the preparing of meals, as they may have done for many years before experiencing memory loss.
