We serve those who require 24/7 assistance with some or all activities of daily living (ADLs). Our residents have a wide range of needs and include those with Alzheimer’s, early onset dementia, Parkinsonian disorders, and other forms of dementia. Prior to coming to The Brownstone, a typical resident may be living at home and getting outside caregiving assistance but now requires a higher level of care, or he or she may be dissatisfied with or have exceeded the level of care being provided at the facility in which they currently reside. In some cases, our residents or their family members are simply looking for a more intimate environment with a more personalized approach.

Beyond the physical caretaking, one area we emphasize greatly is that our residents find a sense of purpose – whether it be baking for fellow residents, caring for the garden, discussing the news, assisting with household chores, etc. Our caregivers spend a significant portion of their time interacting with the residents and partaking in activities of interest to the individual alongside them, thus stimulating conversation and engagement (as opposed to simply setting up an activity, leaving the resident alone, and running off to the next task).

Contrast that with a typical facility where a resident may not have access to the sorts of daily activities and interactions that kept them engaged and active at home. They may have trouble navigating long corridors, elevators, and dining halls and thus often find themselves sitting alone in their rooms, lonely and declining physically. If this description sounds familiar, contact us to discuss your needs. Our approach is unique, centered on unsurpassed individual attention to the residents’ needs and desires, both physical and cognitive.
