Connolly Manor recognizes the special needs of people with Alzheimer's disease and other related memory impairments. Offering a fresh approach, we begin with understanding the stories and details of a senior's life so we can help them attain what we call "pleasant days." This means finding ways to involve residents in everyday activities they enjoy and can feel successful at, in specially designed surroundings that are both safe and stimulating. Providing care for seniors with Alzheimer's and other memory impairments can be challenging, but Connolly Manor has created a care option that works.
Connolly Manor takes great care to make sure residents feel comfortable and secure. Our special programs are developed in accordance with the Alzheimer's Association's standards. Connolly Manor residents engage in therapeutic activities designed to enhance their independence and bring them pleasant days.

Personalized Services & Assistance
We understand that each resident is an individual with unique needs and preferences. That's why we meet with residents and family and conduct an assessment - prior to move-in and at regular intervals after - to understand the need for assistance and support in the following areas:
- Personal hygiene and grooming
- Dressing and clothes selection
- Medication management
- Continence management
- Assistance with eating

This assessment helps determine the appropriate care and service that preserves each resident's dignity, encourages independence and best enables freedom of choice.
Upon completion of the assessment, a team comprised of the admisitrator, office manager, and health care coordinator prepares an individualized service plan that is monitored on a daily basis.
STAFF
Caregivers Chosen with Care
Our staff is trained to help manage the unique needs of Alzheimer's residents suffering from memory impairments. As part of the training, each staff member is assigned an experienced mentor who provides guidance and expert advice.
