Signature Programs: Harbor Courts

Horizon Bay’s Harbor Courts is a separate and secure living area dedicated to the special needs of the memory impaired. Designed to create pleasant days in what could feel like a confusing world, Harbor Courts offers individually tailored programs that provide compassionate care and meaningful interaction. Capitalizing on the strengths and skills of each resident, Harbor Courts’ calm and predictable environment provides a sense of security for residents and peace of mind for family members. Our compassionate staff is trained in behavior modification and dementia care so we can better provide loving and caring relationships for our residents. Guidelines from the Alzheimer’s Association have been used to create an atmosphere that provides residents with a sense of comfort, dignity and well-being, all in a home-like setting.

Harbor Courts’ philosophy of care is centered on: Dignity, Helpful Assistance and Innovative Programming.

Dignity
We believe that individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia-related disorders deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Our staff is committed to helping those with dementia maintain their independence as long as possible. We also serve as advocates to support families’ rights to make life decisions for their loved ones and offer family support through monthly meetings.

Helpful Assistance
Our staff provides assistance to each resident to the degree that they require. Through comprehensive functional and activity assessments, the needs and interests of each resident are determined and integrated into a personalized plan of care.

Innovative Programming
Using our “best friends” approach to care, staff members learn the important lifestyle routines of each resident, including food preferences, favorite activities, and typical sleeping and personal care routines. Our programs offer residents opportunities to participate in meaningful and therapeutic activities, have fun, socialize and enjoy a sense of well-being. Our “failure free” activities are geared toward the skill level of each resident so that frustration is kept to a minimum, and residents experience success. This helps to promote their overall sense of independence and well-being.
