Services: Memory Support

The Avenue is also proud to introduce the Promenade to San Franciscans; two distinct floors staffed and supervised 24 hours a day dedicated exclusively to a unique and specialized memory support program, which has been designed specially for those residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia.

 

Families can have peace of mind knowing that the 24-hour staff and technologically advanced emergency systems will provide a secure environment for all residents.

 

Alzheimer's disease is one of the greatest challenges, emotionally, physically, and financially, that a family or individual caregiver can face. Yet, it touches one in four American families. For many, traditional care alternatives have proven less than ideal. But NOW, The Promenade at the Avenue offers a unique residential care program for those afflicted with dementia and related conditions. At The Avenue, residents receive an unparalleled opportunity to savor life in an atmosphere of individualized support which fosters creativity, independence and fulfillment.

Philosophy of Care

Research has shown that many of the problematic effects of dementia can be controlled through environmental influences. Secure and comfortable surroundings, 24-hour caregiving and therapeutic activities that engage the senses of the residents and draws them into the world around them are what make The Avenue distinctive. Our unique, non-institutional living environment is designed, staffed and programmed to provide a quality of life that recognizes and respects the dignity of individuals. Personalized care services offer support when needed while activity programs encourage continued personal feelings of self-worth.
