Our specialized Memory Care Wing enables memory-impaired residents to maintain an independent lifestyle in a safe environment. We provide expert Dementia/Alzheimer's care while enriching the lives of our residents.

The Memory Care Wing is limited to 20 residents and has a small, family-size atmosphere. The Director of Personal Care develops personalized care plans for each resident while supervising the individualized care provided by our nursing team. Our staff participates in continuing education programs on the most recent memory care practices.

Memory Care Recreation promotes well-being and encourages socialization. Activities are based on positive past experiences that our residents have enjoyed with their family and friends. Music is an integral part of recreation.

Some of our Memory Care Residents:

Resident rooms have a visual and audio nurse-call system so that they can easily call for help in an emergency. The system enables staff to provide reassurance while a nurse is being dispatched to resident rooms. Common area features include a perimetered patio, quiet dining room, country kitchen, bright recreation room, and whirlpool spa.

Memory boxes enable residents to easily identify their rooms. These boxes are located beside the door of each room. They contain personal and family photographs and treasured sentimental items.

Alzheimer's / Dementia Care at Brompton Heights Assisted Living Residence

An Interview with Mark Hamister

What differentiates Memory Care from Assisted Living?
Our Memory Care Residence is limited to 20 individuals.  Its small, home-like setting helps people to adapt easily.  It has its own quiet Dining Room where residents are offered increased dining flexibility.  Recreational programs are designed to stimulate and nurture residents with memory disorders.  Our outdoor courtyard enables residents to enjoy our beautiful natural surroundings without fear of wandering.  We also provide supervised excursions to Brompton’s Movie Theatre, Ice Cream Parlor, and parties.

How does Memory Care benefit the residence as a whole?
The addition of Memory Care provides increased opportunities to age in place.  When the needs of Assisted Living residents become more complex, they do not necessarily have to move to another facility, just to another area of the building.

Read Words of Praise for Memory Care at Brompton Heights in the Buffalo Area.

I'm writing on behalf of our clients at your facility, the ones who have benefitted from the attention and care of Eric Venator, PCA, and Dana Manzella, Admissions Director. It's clear they put their best effort into trying to meet residents' needs and that means everything. To us, a qualified staff makes the difference between a place we'd recommend and a place we would not.

On several occasions, I've witnessed Eric's interaction with residents and been impressed. This morning, while visiting clients in the memory care unit, Eric skillfully calmed an angry woman. He let her talk and be heard, and was not at all patronizing in his manner. From what I know of him, he appears very mature, extremely person-focused and highly dedicated to his work.

I once brought a gentleman to see Brompton and Eric was adept enough to recognize the man's anxiety around not knowing anyone. He took time and care to use his name, introduce him to people, and spent time talking with us. My client left with a very favorable impression and ended up picking Brompton for his new home.

Caregivers like Mr. Venator are the greatest resource in our field. You can be sure that one of the reasons we tell our clients and their families about Brompton Heights is because of people like him and Dana Manzella. Dana is similarly attentive to people. She treats them with an unparalleled amount of dignity in every interaction she has. Her work greatly influences our clients; she creates a feeling of safety for them and if they choose Brompton, it's largely because of her.

Dana often has several people needing things from her at the same time, but she never loses her cool and leaves all parties feeling well attended to. This is no small task. Even working at full throttle, she remains remarkably genuine, immensely considerate, and impressively flexible. We enjoy working with Dana and are confident recommending your facility because of her.
