Our SHINE® Memory Care Program curriculum has received a national Certificate of Recognition from the Alzheimer’s Association®, the country’s leading, voluntary health organization dedicated to Alzheimer’s care and research. One of only eight nationally recognized programs, SHINE® is a uniquely personalized approach to memory care that uses scientific principles to promote engagement, comprehension and lifestyle quality for seniors living with dementia, including Alzheimer’s Disease and other memory-related issues. At The Trace, we understand the challenges people with memory diseases face. In our memory care communities, you’ll find experienced team members who provide comprehensive, compassionate care.

The SHINE® Memory Care Program focuses on:

Discover Independence, Confidence and Self-Esteem

The Trace’s SHINE® Memory Care Program makes a practice of the following:

  • Promoting physical exercise, stimulating cognitive acuity and striving to maintain social contacts
  • Focusing on residents’ strengths rather than limitations
  • Encouraging active participation in the activities of daily life
  • Regularly celebrating small successes as they come

Discover Delicious Dining

At our SHINE® Memory Care community, we also provide:

  • Healthy meals that promote an overall healthy lifestyle
  • Active social participation in dining, and providing assistance as needed
  • A calm, peaceful dining environment and service at the same time each day, which allows residents to focus on eating
  • Our “Food on the Run” service for residents who frequently wander or have trouble focusing at mealtime

Discover Fun and Engaging Activities

We know that an active mind is a healthy mind. To this end, The Trace offers:

  • Purpose-driven activities in both small groups and on a one-to-one basis
  • Activities that are customized to each resident’s abilities
  • Games and activities that are age-appropriate, non-competitive and failure-free
  • Opportunities designed with each resident’s likes and dislikes in mind

Perhaps the most important aspect of our memory care program is a sense of belonging. Our SHINE® program includes:

  • Active support with activities that help to foster a sense of self-reliance and independence
  • Work activities and productivity exercises that provide a sense of personal success and self-worth
  • Play and leisure activities that promote friendship and fun
