Our Difference
Our Philosophy
At Nourish, we believe that every person in our homes deserves to live with dignity and respect. We strive to create an environment that fosters trust and promotes a sense of community. We believe that social engagement and strong relationships between ourselves, family, and residents establishes a supportive environment for overall physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
Our Caregivers
Our caregivers are trained to implement best dementia-care practices. They live onsite and are dedicated professionals committed to providing the highest level of care. We have a small caregiver to resident ratio, and our caregivers get to know our residents personally. This creates a more fulfilling, caring, and supportive environment, further promoting physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
Our Expertise
Our Expertise
As Nationally Certified Dementia Care Practitioners, and with our years of experience working with patients with neurological decline, we bring specialized skill sets to our residents. We specialize in improving quality of life and end of life experiences for those in our care. We remain highly involved and active in the daily care of our homes. We view what we do as an honor and privilege.
Nutrition
A balanced diet is important to nourish the body and mind. People often underestimate the impact that proper nutrition can have on overall health as we age. Nutrition can play a positive role in disease progression, behavioral symptoms, mood, and energy levels. Our meals are thoughtfully planned to meet brain-healthy diet standards.
