Dear Families and Valued Community Members,
We're writing to share some exciting news about the future of our memory care community. We are pleased to announce that our facility, previously part of ProMedica, will now be joining the Evergreen Management family!

We understand that changes in ownership can sometimes raise questions, and we want to assure you of one very important thing: the compassionate, high-quality care you and your loved ones receive will remain the same.

We want to assure you of our commitment to the values that have always defined us: exceptional care, a nurturing environment, and a dedicated team. While our management name has changed from ProMedica to Evergreen Management, everything else you cherish about our community remains constant. You will continue to see the same compassionate caregivers, the same skilled nurses, and the same familiar leadership team guiding our efforts every day. Our commitment to providing personalized, high-quality memory care for your loved ones is unwavering.

This transition is simply a change in name; our heart and mission remain steadfast. We are excited about this new chapter and the opportunities it brings to further enhance our services while maintaining the continuity and stability you value.

This transition allows us to continue our mission with renewed energy and resources, ensuring that our residents continue to thrive in a stable and supportive environment.

Thank you for your trust and partnership. We look forward to continuing to serve our wonderful residents and their families under the Evergreen Management banner.

Please feel free to reach out to our team directly with any questions. Your peace of mind is our top priority.

With warmth and continued dedication,
Your Team At Arden Courts

Each resident is unique and so are their needs. When it comes to meals, our menu items are carefully prepared with consideration of a resident’s likes, skills and capabilities. We ensure modifications are made to maintain a person’s independence as long as possible. When forks and knives are no longer working, finger foods are prepared to help maintain a sense of dignity.

If I get dementia, I’d like my family to hang this wish list up on the wall where I live. I want them to remember these things.

1. If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality.
2. If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it.
3. If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you.
4. If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me.
5. If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself.
6. If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded.
7. If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am.
8. If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to exercise, read, and visit with friends.
9. If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past.
10. If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me.
11. If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated.
12. If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me in the house. Even now if I don’t eat I get angry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need.
13. If I get dementia, don’t talk about me as if I’m not in the room.
14. If I get dementia, don’t feel guilty if you cannot care for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s not your fault, and you’ve done your best. Find someone who can help you, or choose a great new place for me to live.
15. If I get dementia, and I live in a dementia care community, please visit me often.
16. If I get dementia, don’t act frustrated if I mix up names, events, or places. Take a deep breath. It’s not my fault.
17. If I get dementia, make sure I always have my favorite music playing within earshot.
18. If I get dementia, and I like to pick up items and carry them around, help me return those items to their original place.
19. If I get dementia, don’t exclude me from parties and family gatherings.
20. If I get dementia, know that I still like receiving hugs or handshakes.
21. If I get dementia, remember that I am still the person you know and love.
