Edelweiss Village Opens New Assisted Living Memory Care Apartments

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.”

Designed by applied Form+Space and built by Aberthaw
Construction Inc., these highly anticipated residences incorporate pleasing
colors, an abundance of natural light, and a secure yet welcoming environment.
Edelweiss Village, located on a beautifully landscaped 14-acre West Roxbury
campus, also offers 46 studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom assisted living
apartments.

For an introduction to our exceptional memory care
services, Edelweiss Village will host a “Memory Café” on the third Saturday of
each month from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. These social gatherings will enable
individuals with memory loss and their caregivers to come together in a safe,
supportive environment. Attendees will share conversation over light
refreshments and have the option to participate in fun, engaging activities
within a group setting. All guests must be accompanied by a caregiver.

Edelweiss Village is conveniently located at 2220 Centre Street
in West Roxbury. For more information on our Memory Café or to schedule a tour,
