The Retreat believes that continued training is essential to personal growth for all employees of the facility. Our motivated staff participates in ongoing professional improvement.

All staff members participate in individual, self guided learning.
In addition to these unique learning lessons, each staff member participates in monthly group learning sessions led by our own physicians, nurse educators, or Ph.D. trained behavior specialist.

The mission of the facility is to provide services that go above and beyond others in the field and to concentrate all our efforts on dementia specialty care. It is our sincere hope that the families that entrust their loved one to The Retreat will feel a sense of security and safety knowing that The Retreat is dedicated to staff training, ongoing learning and translating the latest care research into daily programs.

The unique care programs developed specifically for The Retreat are focused on meeting the physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs of persons with dementia. We partner with family members to develop individual care programs that meet the unique needs of each person who lives here.

All the professionals at The Retreat are extensively trained in the most current interventions, treatments and approaches to use when caring for someone with any stage of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.

We understand that living with dementia can be a difficult road. The Retreat believes in honoring the total person – regardless of their disease. We care about who each resident has been, who they are today and who they will grow to be tomorrow.

The Retreat was specifically designed to care for the many symptoms that accompany Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias. The result has been an award winning, unique residence that combines state-of-the-art programs with an environment that always feels warm, familiar and welcoming.

Our gentle, daily care is based on anticipating physical, emotional and spiritual needs. The Retreat is truly a one-of-a-kind experience and we are happy to welcome you and your loved one to our family of care and services.
