Aging In The Willamette Valley

This week, Natalie Nelson, Executive Director of Battle Creek Memory Care, and Tonya Burlew, their Community Relations Director, joined us to talk about what to look for in a state-of-the-art memory care community.Natalie and Tonya explain how Battle Creek Memory Care combines a charming and safe environment with specialized memory care for individuals with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other memory issues. Their approach uses customized programs for each resident to build trust and emotional bonds meant to enhance guests’ lives for years to come. Programs include exercise, entertainment, and open visitation (no restricted hours) to encourage family participation. Also, the facility is organized into four neighborhoods, each with its own living, dining, and activity areas. Memory care works best in a supportive, safe, and familiar environment like this.
