Person-Centered Memory Care
Experience Connections by Ciel
Our signature memory care program, Connections by Ciel, is designed to care for those with memory impairment, such as Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia. Providing enhanced safety and security, support, and culinary programming, our memory care communities elevate wellness and quality of life. We invite individuals facing cognitive impairment to embrace a life of freedom, enhanced flexibility, balance, and meaningful connection.
Connections by Ciel provides residents with personalized care and thoughtful programming, improving resident experiences through our five pillars of connection – kinship, spirituality, social engagement, physical activity, and intellectual well-being. No matter what stage of memory loss a person is experiencing, we are here to help them live their best days and stay true to their preferred rhythm of day-to-day life.
A Commitment to Excellence and Education
Within each of our memory care neighborhoods, you will find our directors and care team members educated, trained, and dementia care certified. We take pride in offering comprehensive Certified Dementia Practitioner training for those directly working in our memory care neighborhoods. This specialized training allows us to provide excellence in resident care and covers a range of topics, from communication and nutrition to pain and depression. This ongoing education and regular training equip and empower our team members to meet the residents’ individualized needs.
Each of our memory care communities has a dedicated Memory Care Director who leads all aspects of daily operations and oversight in collaboration with your loved one’s primary care physician, specialized healthcare professionals, and family. This collaborative approach embraces our commitment to providing a warm, caring environment rooted in trust and service excellence.
Food is More than Just Nutrition
The power of healthy food goes beyond the physical—nutritionists and dietary experts emphasize that one of the most important strategies in slowing cognitive decline is the food we eat! Our memory care communities offer the recognized Mood Food program, an integrative approach that combines expertise in nutrition, preventative psychology, and consumer behavior psychiatry.
At Ciel Senior Living, the Mood Food program emphasizes our culinary teams’ use of foods and ingredients that have been shown to stimulate brain health, slow cognitive decline, and boost mood and energy.
Encouraging Purposeful Living
Connections by Ciel encourages meaningful engagement through our purposeful life skill stations throughout our memory care neighborhoods. Our skilled professionals focus on enriching the lives of each of each resident through these meaningful interactions.
We further elevate the resident and family experience through the integration of technology and digital systems. This is made possible through our partnership with iN2L + LifeLoop. These tools are designed to enrich the lives of residents and support their independence while fostering communication with families. With the permitted sharing of photos and videos and the creation of robust calendars based on residents’ interests, connectivity and engagement are always at your fingertips.
Amenities & Services to Enhance Every Day
Every aspect of our signature memory care program, Connections by Ciel, ensures comfort, beautiful surroundings, chef-prepared cuisine, and an abundance of thoughtful programs.
Throughout our communities, Ciel Senior Living also offers a Low-Vision Program designed for those who have experienced a decline or loss in vision. The ultimate objective of this rehabilitation is to aid individuals in regaining the quality of life they once enjoyed. By helping to restore ease and ability in performing day-to-day tasks, this therapy helps to maintain an individual’s independence and resuscitate their self-worth. Our Low-Vision Program is provided on-site by a trusted, third-party group, ensuring professional and convenient assistance for residents.
