The ten private apartments and two companion suites enable residents
to receive compassionate care in a comfortable home-like setting.
“We are excited to offer memory care apartments on our campus,”
said Babacar Diop, CEO of Deutsches Altenheim. “Our goal is to provide
residents living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia the opportunity
to thrive in a supportive environment that promotes independence.”
Utilizing a person-centric approach, our innovative memory
support programming focuses on the strengths and needs of the individual. “We
celebrate the unique essence and complexity of each resident, honoring their
journey with dignity, respect, and unwavering support,” explained Diop. “Above
all, our philosophy is rooted in empathy and compassion.”
