What is Metta Memory?
By celebrating our residents' lives, their days are filled with engaging activities that bring purpose and joy while helping ease the progression of Alzheimer's or dementia.
Metta Memory neighbourhoods have been purposefully designed to provide a comforting and secure environment for those residents living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. Our specially trained staff offer a compassionate, person-centric approach that focuses on the individual's interests, past life experiences, and customized needs.
Our wide range of recreation and therapeutic programs encourage residents to be engaged throughout their day while reducing anxiety and providing purpose. We have combined best practices from the leading dementia care programs to provide a wholesome plan that includes cognitive fitness, exercise classes, pet therapy, music therapy, sensory activities and much more!
We recognize that every resident living in our Metta Memory neighbourhood requires a personalized approach, and we offer an ever-evolving action plan to suit their needs.
