Tapestries® Dementia & Alzheimer’s Care

Tapestries® Memory Care in Gloucester County, NJ

Comprehensive Care for Alzheimer’s and Other Forms of Dementia

Professional memory care can significantly improve the quality of life for people with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Because they may not always be able to ask for what they need, share what they are thinking, or express their feelings, United Methodist Communities has developed the Tapestries model of care.

The Tapestries team delivers care based on their knowledge and relationship with the resident, supporting their personal strengths and capabilities. Further, they honor the unique needs and wants of the individual, focusing on abilities, personal preferences, and routines, which guides our care. Studies have shown that this strategy helps maximize and enrich their quality of life and is a core part of Tapestries Memory Care in Pitman, NJ.

Flexible schedules. As mentioned above, a core part of Tapestries Memory Care is to enhance the strengths of residents by engaging them in daily activities that make sense to them.

Communication methods are very important for associates, as well as family members to learn. What might work for one resident, may not necessarily work for another.
