Memory Care

Memory Care guided by relationship, dignity, and trust

Solheim's Memory Care offers a personalized care plan that balances safety and structure with meaningful engagement, emotional connection, and access to advanced care when needed.

Our Philosophy: Teepa Snow's Positive Approach to Care

A philosophy of care that changes everything.

At Solheim, our memory care is guided by Teepa Snow's Positive Approach to Care — one of the nation's leading methods for supporting individuals living with dementia.

We proudly employ Certified Independent Professionals trained in this approach, which focuses on understanding each resident's changing abilities and responding with empathy and skill.

This philosophy shapes everything we do — helping us:

  • Meet each person where they are
  • Support remaining abilities
  • Respond to behaviors with understanding, not correction

This helps residents feel secure, engaged, and respected each day.
