Personal Care Memory Support for seniors in Central PA.

Brethren Village Memory Support Services
Our team provides tailored care and specialized interactive activities to fit individual needs and preferences.

Brethren Village offers a memory support program designed to enhance Residents’ comfort by creating an environment promoting choice and evoking pleasant memories through familiar schedules and surroundings. We understand Alzheimer’s and dementia care, and we strive to enhance the lives of those seniors who make their home here — as well as their family members — through kindness, compassion and a thorough understanding of the challenges memory loss presents.

Our memory support neighborhood is designed to ensure feelings of safety and security, while our team provides tailored care and specialized interactive activities to fit individual needs and preferences. We believe those with memory loss deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, and we encourage Residents in our program to participate in many areas of life, joining in as much as possible. The Team Members in memory support take the time to learn the history of each resident, resulting in a nurturing bond that goes beyond basic caregiving.
