Belonging and Purpose
Our Lilac Trace Memory Care philosophy is built on understanding the challenges of dementia and cognitive decline.
Guided by the best-selling book Meet Me Where I Am, Lilac Trace emphasizes the importance of connecting memory care residents with their long-term memories while cherishing present moments. The five key elements of our Lilac Trace Memory Care neighborhood are:
- 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 approach creates a dynamic memory care experience that adapts to each resident’s unique needs.

- 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.

- Ongoing family wellness conferences to review residents’ progress in Lilac Trace Memory Care.
Every Lilac Trace Memory Care neighborhood provides exceptional services and care in a nurturing environment.
