Alzheimer's and Dementia Care

The Wealshire is the nation's largest free-standing community specifically designed, built and staffed to serve the special needs of Alzheimer and dementia residents. The Ponds provides assisted living to residents with early and mild dementia.

Unique Household Living

Our unique living concept is based on small groups living in household units that surround a "hub" for common activities. The hub is appointed with fixtures, furniture and casual spaces that feel like a home, providing cues that give comfort and warmth.

Small groupings of residents with similar abilities

At the Wealshire, residents in each hub area have common abilities in which residents are challenged but not overwhelmed.

High Staff-to-Resident Ratio

The staff-to-resident ratio is three times greater then ordinary nursing homes and the staff is continually trained in the latest techniques in working with Alzheimer residents.

A Meaningful Focus to Each Day

Activity-focused care programs are coustomized to each resident's ability to participate. This includes music therapy, word games, work groups, laugh groups, pet therapy, movies, interfaith chapel, ice cream parlor and barbecues in the courtyards.

Extra Services Without Extra Charges

One room rate includes services that other facilities charge extra for, such as meal time assistance, personal laundry, and equipment rental.
