Clare Bridge is a community dedicated to the special needs of individuals with AlzheimerÕs Disease and other forms of memory impairment. Everything about Clare Bridge is designed for one, singular purpose Ð an uncompromising commitment to those with dementia and their families. From the building design to carefully selected staff to specialized programming to professional training, we are focused on the individual needs of each person we serve. At Clare Bridge, residents have a sense of belonging. We protect their spirit and support their self esteem by filling their days with tasks that are familiar, purposeful and comforting. At Clare Bridge, we donÕt see the disease we see the total person. We understand that losses due to dementia are progressive and that residentsÕ needs are continually changing. Clare Bridge provides each resident with an individualized service plan to anticipate and meet their unique needs, to help them feel safe and add meaning to their day. Physical and behavioral needs, as well as life history play an integral role in maintaining familiar daily routines and service plans for each resident. At Clare Bridge we believe that every life story is important, it defines us as individuals. Detailed life history information - past jobs and life roles, hobbies, family dynamics, habits and personal likes and dislikes - is embraced and integrated into residentsÕ daily routines.
