Introducing Joyful Reflections at Edencrest

Joyful Reflections is a personalized, comprehensive memory care experience created with love, understanding, and deep respect for the uniqueness of each individual person. Providing residents a choice helps them feel a sense of control and independence. Even with small decisions, this supports the resident’s dignity and reduces feelings of helplessness. We provide a consistent daily structure in a secure environment which is beneficial for your loved one with memory loss. We pride ourselves on a vibrant, meaningful community where each resident feels valued, engaged, and connected. We believe that the heart of successful memory care lies in understanding the person beyond their diagnosis.

Joyful Reflections

We are committed to enriching the lives of our residents. We create a living experience that celebrates the beauty of every moment. Our goal is not only to care for our residents, but to empower them to continue living with purpose, joy, and connection. Here, we walk beside each resident and their family on this journey.

Gentle Transitions

Transitioning a loved one from Assisted Living to Memory Care can be an emotional and challenging process, but our supportive Gentle Transitions day program can help ease the change. Through this program, your loved one can spend the day in our memory care community, participating in engaging activities and building relationships with staff and fellow residents.

Knowing the Residents and Their Preferences

A Place That's Not Like Home— It Is Home

Creating Comfort Through Familiarity

Home is not just about the walls around you— it’s about the memories and objects that define your life. That’s why our community spaces are thoughtfully designed to mirror the comfort, warmth, and personalization that our
residents cherish.

Memory Care 
Lifestyle Stations

—are strategically placed throughout the community. These stations invite residents to engage with objects, photos, and mementos from their life, sparking positive memories, conversations, and connections.

Familiar Scents
and Sounds

Beyond the visuals, we understand that scents, sounds, and textures are just as important in creating a sense of home. Whether it’s the scent of a favorite flower, the sound of a beloved piece of music, or the feel of soft fabrics, we create sensory experiences that help residents feel grounded and at ease in their new home.

Personalized Wellness Plan: Where Joy Meets Care

At the heart of our Joyful Reflections program is a team of dedicated caregivers specially trained in memory care. Our goal is to offer personalized care that goes beyond medical needs. Using a variety of tools—including family input, memory triggers, and preferred routines—we design individualized care plans that prioritize residents’ medical needs, hobbies, and interests. Each care plan is unique to the person, ensuring they feel secure and comfortable in an environment that honors their history while preparing them for a bright future.
