Memory Care at Desert Hills
Specialized memory care programming and support are provided by an experienced team that understands all stages of memory loss. Our goal is to help residents experience more meaningful moments and more fulfilling days at our Riverside County memory care community, Desert Hills.
Several years of best-practices research and consultations with families whose lives have been touched by Alzheimer’s or other dementias went into creating memory care at Desert Hills and Mosaic, our exclusive memory care program. Based on Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care®, Mosaic honors all the pieces that make up our residents’ lives and celebrates where they are in their journey.
Architecturally and operationally innovative, our Hemet, California, memory care community features a welcoming lobby and lots of comfortable common spaces for residents to relax or socialize. A spacious, secure outdoor courtyard is a safe place for activities, visits and special events. An open kitchen serves as the hub of the community and provides a wonderful space for activities and dining.
Desert Hills memory care community is small enough to ensure our care teams can really get to know — and bond with — residents. The community design allows residents to move freely, safely and easily about, but they’re close enough for staff to ensure their safety and well-being.
Our wellness and life-enrichment teams work together to ensure Alzheimer’s care and dementia care residents stay connected and engaged through a variety of programs designed to enhance life for those living with memory decline.
