Dimensions® Memory Care

Focusing on Connection

Dimensions® is the state-of-the-art Memory Care program developed by Ebenezer Senior Living and employed at York Gardens. Using a holistic approach and evidence-based best practices, it focuses on connection rather than loss with the goal of making a dramatic difference in your loved one’s quality of life. Dimensions® Memory Care stresses the importance of understanding the individual needs of a person with dementia and trains caregivers to respond to them with compassion and creativity.

At York Gardens, enrichment activities are carefully chosen and customized to connect with each resident’s interests and preserve and enhance their physical, cognitive, and social skills. We provide all our Memory Care residents with physical exercise, stress management and reduction therapies, cognitive exercises, sensory activities, and meaningful social and individual engagement.

The Journey Program

The Ebenezer Journey Program at York Gardens is designed for couples who live together in the same apartment, but who have differing care needs. The Program offers spouse caregivers an affordable break by providing daytime programming specially designed for the spouse living with dementia.

To encourage and empower people with memory loss, we design each community’s Ebenezer Journey Program around the participants interests and capabilities. Older adults maintain self-worth and independence by staying active and interacting with others. We offer a variety of daytime recreational and social activities as well as optional quiet time alone for those who need a break. 

Program participants enjoy a variety of activities and events, including:

  • Exercise 
  • Cooking/Baking 
  • Trivia (reminiscing and current events) 
  • Parties and Special Events 
  • Arts and Crafts             
  • Bus Trips
  • Live Music  
  • Live Entertainment 
  • Pet Visits 
  • Games

Acting as a bridge between Assisted Living and Memory Care, the Journey Program can help both the individual with dementia and their family. Caregivers can relax with respite time, while their loved one is well cared for and enjoying events and activities. Over time, the Journey Program participant will know both the design of our Memory Care and the friendly resident assistants who work there. This familiarity will help if/when the participant requires more care and the family decides to seek full time assistance in our secure memory care neighborhood.
