With this new $7 million facility, Hollenbeck will provide essential dementia-specific care to 33 residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or various forms of dementia. Addressing the increase in the number of dementia diagnoses, this new center will allow Hollenbeck to best meet all its residents’ needs.

The Hensel Memory Enhancement Center features a specifically designed layout to minimize confusion and special colors and shapes to promote mental stimulation care. It also includes an enclosed garden, allowing residents to enjoy the fresh air and independence of being outdoors. Each resident is assessed and has a personalized plan created to meet their individual preferences and advancement of their condition. Most importantly, this center provides compassionate and kind care in a safe and loving environment, much like their home. Staff are assigned to residents on a continuous and consistent basis, allowing them to get to know each resident personally, and therefore understand, foresee and handle their individual needs.
Private and semi-private rooms are located on two floors, and 24x7 care is provided to all residents. Programs are offered 7 days a week and provide physical, occupational spiritual, social, intellectual, emotional and environmental dimensions to assure the optimum benefits to residents. The Hensel Memory Enhancement Center is particularly proud to incorporate innovative and up-to-date technology in its programs to best serve its residents.
