Lilac Trace Memory Care in Indian Land

Belonging and Purpose

Lilac Trace Memory Care offers compassionate support with an approach centered on understanding the complexities of dementia and cognitive challenges.

Inspired by the principles outlined in the book Meet Me Where I Am, Lilac Trace focuses on fostering meaningful connections by tapping into residents’ long-term memories while treasuring the moments shared in the present. The foundation of our care philosophy is built on these 5 core principles:

We treat everyone as an individual. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to care.
We respect each resident by understanding their individual history.
We walk side by side with each resident daily and accept people for who they are now.
We understand that behaviors and expressions are a form of communication.
We strive to make each moment special.

Through our personalized care model, paired with the R.E.A.C.H. for Life engagement program, we offer a flexible and enriching experience that evolves to meet the needs of each resident.

What Is Lilac Trace Memory Care?

Lilac Trace Memory Care is our specialized program for older adults with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. With support from dementia-trained caregivers, we create a safe, structured, and engaging environment that celebrates each resident’s unique life story and abilities.

This research-backed approach prioritizes individual wellness and community, fostering stability, calm, and compassion.

At Lilac Trace, we honor the past, bring dignity to the present, and inspire hope for the future.

R.E.A.C.H. for Life Program

We believe in fostering holistic well-being for every resident in our Lilac Trace memory care neighborhood. That’s why we’ve developed R.E.A.C.H. for Life, our unique, science-based memory care engagement program.

Inspired by leading practices in Alzheimer’s and dementia care, R.E.A.C.H. for Life is built upon thoughtfully structured daily sequential programming and purposeful activities that nurture physical, cognitive, and emotional health.

Each day within our Lilac Trace Memory Care neighborhoods features a series of engaging activities, carefully designed to help each person thrive.

Here’s how we R.E.A.C.H. for life every day:

Each day begins with warm social engagement and interactive events, such as a meet-and-greet or current events discussion, setting a positive tone for the day.

Our mid-morning activities focus on physical health. Residents participate in gentle movements like yoga, tai chi, or aerobics, promoting circulation, maintaining mobility, and supporting overall well-being.

Prior to lunch, we stimulate cognitive function with brain fitness activities. Residents engage in trivia, memory games, word challenges, and themed discussions designed to spark curiosity and support mental sharpness.

After lunch, creative programming allows residents to express themselves through art, crafts, painting, gardening, and other sensory activities, fostering self-expression and joy.

Our mid-to-late afternoon activities emotionally engage residents, nurturing their heart and spirit. Through music, dancing, sing-alongs, happy hours, and reminiscing sessions, we help residents end their day in a positive and comforting way.

This structured yet flexible approach ensures that residents feel connected, purposeful, and cherished throughout their day.
