Empowering Memory Care
Rooted in Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care
It’s upsetting to see your beloved relative feeling misunderstood or unsupported. If they’re struggling in a big box assisted living facility that can’t meet their needs, you know this feeling all too well. You know the way they’re approaching your loved one’s care isn’t right – but you might feel like there’s no other option.

A Road to a Brighter Future for Your Loved one
It’s natural to be concerned about your loved one’s future – the progression of Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia is unique for every individual, and it’s hard to plan for the unknown. It’s difficult to think that your relative might feel isolated or unable to complete activities of daily living in their own home, or become increasingly agitated in an assisted living facility that can no longer meet their needs.
Silverleaf Eldercare is here to help you eliminate these unknowns. You’ll get peace of mind that your loved one’s support will be seamlessly adapted to meet their evolving needs – whatever that may look like. Ultimately, they’ll get to live the vibrant life they always wanted in retirement, and you’ll get to spend quality time with them, safe in the knowledge that their future looks bright, happy, and full of care.
