Philosophy and Care Approach
At McDowell Place of Danville, we believe that everyone deserves to live a life that is full of dignity, respect, and purpose. Our memory care program is designed to provide residents with the highest quality of care possible, while also helping them to maintain their independence and sense of self.
Our approach to care is based on the following principles:
- Individualized care: We believe that every resident is unique, and we tailor our care plans to meet their individual needs.
- Person-centered care: We focus on the whole person, not just their diagnosis. We understand that dementia is a complex disease that can affect people in different ways, and we work to provide care that meets the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of each resident.
- Family involvement: We believe that families are an important part of the care team. We encourage families to be involved in their loved one’s care, and we offer a variety of resources to help them stay connected.
- Recreation and engagement: We believe that it is important for residents to stay active and engaged. We offer a variety of activities and programs that are designed to stimulate the mind, body, and spirit.
