What is dementia?
Dementia describes a collection of symptoms that are caused by disorders affecting the brain. In other words, dementia isn't one specific disease.
Our community
We believe human connection is at the heart of wellbeing. Nurturing deep connections with the community enables our residents to maintain important relationships and pursue interests that are meaningful to them. Each of our Care Communities plays an active role in community life.
