🛡️ Safety & Security in Memory Care Matters! 🧠💙

At Jill’s House, we understand how important it is to provide a safe, secure, and supportive environment for individuals living with memory loss. That’s why our care goes beyond the basics:

✅ Fall Prevention – We use non-slip flooring, grab bars, and staff training to reduce fall risks and promote confidence in mobility.

🚪 Elopement Protocols – For residents at risk of wandering, we implement regular safety checks, and personalized care plans to ensure their safety while preserving dignity.

🏡 Thoughtful Environmental Design – From soothing color schemes to clearly marked pathways and secure outdoor spaces, every corner of Jill’s House is designed to reduce confusion, anxiety, and agitation.

You’re not alone on this journey — we’re here to help. 💜

Where Curiosity Leads and Play Guides the Way 🌿🎨

At Jill’s House, we believe childhood is meant to be explored — through play, connection, and curiosity. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, we see the environment as the third teacher and play as every child’s fundamental right.

That’s why our classrooms (inside and outside!) are filled with open-ended materials, natural elements, and opportunities for child-led discovery. From babies crawling through paint to preschoolers splashing in mud — it's all part of the learning journey.

This is more than play — it’s how children grow, connect, and thrive. 💚
