Thrive: a program for the whole person

Thrive in the Courtyard helps people who have Alzheimer's or another form of dementia feel independent and maintain their existing skills. Anchored in a life history tool, this specialized memory care program customizes each person's care. We incorporate their past experiences, physical skills, current interests, routines and hobbies into activities that deliver a meaningful, more satisfying daily life.

Find Your Community

A homelike setting

We create a comfortable environment for residents’ ease - a secure neighborhood around a courtyard, with 24-hour staffing. Housekeeping and meal preparation are provided, and a professional nursing staff trained in managing cognitive, behavioral and physical symptoms works with residents, their families and physicians. The result is customized care, and families can be certain their loved one is well cared for, engaged in daily life and safe.

ELEVATE DAILY LIFE WITH THRIVE IN THE COURTYARD

We collaborate closely with family members to consistently create moments that matter and foster a longer memory for your loved one by encouraging routines, past skills and even the examination of treasured photos.

Whatever their needs and level of functioning, we help everyone maintain a comfortable pace, and we deliver Thrive programs to different formats for group sizes.

LIFESTYLES: Creating opportunities for group participation and social interaction
COMPANIONS: Smaller groups for people who don’t benefit from traditional group activities or those who have late-stage dementia
ALWAYS AT HAND: Materials for one-on-one visits with a team member of a family member, designed for residents unable to join or benefit from group programs
