Caring for Your Loved Ones with Alzheimer’s and Dementia
Connecting Realities, the programing that makes our neighborhoods what they are, is all about meeting residents where they’re at – in their reality. We work hard to get to know each resident so that we can connect who they were with who they are. The best way to understand what Connecting Realities, and how it improves the quality of life of our residents, is to look at the three elements at its core – training, engagement, and design.
Designed with Your Loved One in Mind
Giving Your Loved Ones the Best Environment
View Floor Plan
To us, it’s about creating an environment where residents with dementia can thrive. In 2023 we renovated our entire memory support neighborhood with new flooring, paint, furniture, and more. Using research as our basis, the Connecting Realities philosophy highlights the importance of using intentional choices in our designs, such as paint colors, lighting levels, and patterns on the floor. The right choices can create the best environment possible for your loved one.

Empowering Memory Support through Music Therapy
Reestablishing Connections
With the addition of our music therapy programming, our community members are experiencing the incredible benefits of music. Especially, when it comes to our community members that face the daily challenges associated with Alzheimer’s and dementia. Music therapy is shown to help improve mood, decrease anxiety, strengthen communication, reduce agitation, and even boost memory.

What’s included in the cost?
Our monthly fee covers the cost of your loved one’s apartment, all utilities including phone and cable TV, housekeeping, laundry, meals, and care provided by a nurse or nursing assistant. The other services we offer, such as for hearing aids, glasses, dental care, and foot care are available to residents but are not included in the monthly fee. Those services can frequently be covered by health insurance. The beauty salon is not included in the monthly fee, but we can connect you with our stylist so you can learn more about the services they provide, their costs, and scheduling appointments for your loved one.
Does my loved one have to be Mason-affiliated?
Do I have to be Mason-affiliated?
No, our community is open to the public regardless of being Masonic or not. During the application process we’ll ask about any Masonic affiliations, but we don’t use that information to decide if your loved one is eligible to live here.
Are Snacks Included?
We love to bake in the Pathways Memory Support Neighborhood, and residents bake snacks for the whole neighborhood every day. If your loved one has a favorite snack that they enjoy eating, or even a favorite drink, we recommend you supply those.
Do you accept Medicare, Medicaid, or other private insurance?
Most of our residents are private pay. If you have questions about Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, or long-term care insurance, talk to your sales counselor. They can explain our pricing more in-depth and connect you with people and resources to answer your questions.
