Bringing Dignity & Belonging to Memory Care

At Lilac Trace Memory Care, our services are designed with kindness and compassion. We provide specialized support that honors the unique needs of those with cognitive disorders like Alzheimer’s or dementia.

We follow the “Meet Me Where I Am” philosophy, inspired by Mary Ann Drummond’s best-selling book. This approach guides our care at Lilac Trace, fostering connections and celebrating our residents with the dignity and belonging they deserve.

The five key elements of our Lilac Trace philosophy:

  1. We treat everyone as an individual, there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to care.
  2. We respect each resident by understanding their individual history.
  3. We walk side by side with each resident daily and accept people for who they are now.
  4. We understand that behaviors and expressions are a form of communication.
  5. We strive to make each moment special.
