MILFORD – Belle Reve Senior Living recently showcased its newly renovated Memory Care Neighborhood at an Open House. The new unit includes a heated floor in the atrium, shown above, new floor in the living room, a new kitchen area for residents and all new furniture. The Memory Care Neighborhood is designed to help those suffering from Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. Programs include the DayBreak program, which includes dail activities designed to promote independence, socialization and quality of life while maintaining residents' dignity, and the "Red Plate" program, based on a concept that improves the contrast between various foods. Since Belle Reve started using red plates in its Memory Care Neighborhood, there has been a huge improvement in residents’ eating habits, staff says.
