Dignity and Belonging in Memory Care
Personalized, compassionate, and accessible care is essential to the well-being of those living with cognitive and memory conditions like Alzheimer’s or dementia.
Inspired by the best-selling book Meet Me Where I Am, our Lilac Trace philosophy emphasizes the importance of connecting residents to their past while celebrating their present point of view. The five key elements of our Lilac Trace philosophy:
- We treat everyone as an individual. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to care.
- We respect each resident by understanding their individual history.
- We walk side by side with each resident daily and accept people for who they are now.
- We understand that behaviors and expressions are a form of communication.
- We strive to make each moment special.
Our personalized care program is tailored to meet each resident’s unique needs, fostering a sense of belonging and independence. Visit us today to learn more about Lilac Trace Memory Care.

Our approach to memory care is rooted in connection, collaboration, and compassion.
These pillars not only guide us but also inspire us to create a community where memory care is filled with empathy, respect, and dignity.
Fostering a nurturing environment where every person is seen, heard, and valued is vital.

- We create evidence-based dementia-specific programs and activities to engage residents daily.
Continual collaboration with families is vital to the successful day-to-day care of our residents and is at the heart of everything we do:
- Our Bridge App provides real-time communication with families.
- Support groups that provide education and resources for families.
- Ongoing family wellness conferences to review residents’ progress in Lilac Trace Memory Care.
Every Lilac Trace Memory Care community provides exceptional services and care in a nurturing environment.
