At Stoney River, each resident’s customized, senior living experience begins with our team chronicling their life story so we may thoroughly get to know them and deeply understand their background, preferences, interests, talents, and abilities. Each person’s life story is a foundation that provides our heartfelt team with resources needed to develop a personalized, holistic approach to the care and services we deliver each day. By cultivating meaningful relationships with our residents, we design person-centered activities and experiences that resonate with each person on a deeper level.
Moments Beyond ExpectationsTM
Our signature memory care program was developed using evidence-based approaches and informed by dementia and geriatric research. We prioritize the unique needs and strengths of each resident, going beyond just the diagnosis. By crafting personal life stories and conducting ongoing assessments, we gauge our residents’ abilities and curate activities based on their interests and natural flow of the day. This focuses on setting the resident up for success in every opportunity we have in supporting them with activities of daily living.
