The Shores has an entire “neighborhood” devoted to the specialized needs of our residents living with dementia. Our Tapestries® program brings proactive, thought-leading strategies to the care and comfort of dementia residents. Seniors in Tapestries benefit from the person-centered approach to care, as the program focuses on what they can do, engages them in daily activities that bring them joy, and maximizes their overall quality of life.
All residents of our senior living community have full access to social programs, exercise classes, special events, live entertainment, educational seminars and more. These programs are extremely popular with our residents. The activities calendar is always packed at The Shores! Residents are encouraged to direct their own days and try whichever programs catch their interest.

Oliver and his friends got that right! We know how central a good meal can be to a senior’s daily life and at The Shores we take that seriously. Our chefs are all true professionals with decades of experience and formal culinary or hospitality educations. Their passion, innovation and food-forward vision has birthed vegetable and herb gardens, the Chef’s Table program, our Junior Chef Program, Chef Center Stage, interactive food events, and cooking demonstrations.
At our monthly “Food Committee” meetings chefs gain knowledge of the specific preferences, customs, and medical needs of each resident as well. There is no dietary restriction that cannot be deliciously accommodated at The Shores.
Add to that the presence of staff nutritionists and dieticians, and you have a team of creative minds planning exciting, delicious and nutritious meals for our community every day.

I know my dad is getting quality care here, the staff has developed a relationship with my father and they have become family with my father and family with us. That's important because you want to know when you are walking into that building that the people who are caring for your loved one, really have a desire to make their life better.
