Plans are under way to open a new Memory Care Center of Excellence at Ohio Living Cape May. Emerging as the first-of-its-kind memory care unit in Clinton County, the center was announced Oct. 25, during an event focused on the future of memory care.
During the event, Corporate Manager of Memory Care, Jean Morgan, presented a plan for the 21-bed Memory Care Center of Excellence and shared more about Ohio Living’s transformational, multi-year effort to enhance memory care throughout the organization. The transformation involves implementation of The Hearthstone Institute’s “I’m Still Here” philosophy and approach, which focuses on creating meaningful engagement and hope through programs designed specifically for those living with dementia.
“I’m Still Here” utilizes individualized care plans and innovative technology to enhance participants’ quality of life, across all levels of care. The approach is currently being used with great success at eight other Ohio Living campuses across the state. Donors have enabled the memory care program’s expansion, and funding for this project is ongoing.
