Bringing Dignity and Belonging to Memory Care
Inspired by the best-selling book, “Meet Me Where I Am,” our Lilac Trace philosophy emphasizes the importance of connecting residents to their past while celebrating their present point of view at any given moment. The five key elements of our Lilac Trace philosophy:
- We avoid the “one-size-fits-all” methodology.
- We honor each resident’s unique past by acknowledging their history.
- We journey alongside our residents every day, embracing their present selves.
- We recognize behaviors and expressions as valuable ways of communicating.
- We enrich every moment.
Led by our Lilac Trace director—who is also a certified music therapist—our approach is rooted in compassion and supported by Dementia Trained Caregivers (received CDPs). In addition to assistance with daily living needs, we offer medication management, in-house therapy options (including music therapy), and healthcare coordination with personal providers.
We invite you and your loved one to visit our community today to see firsthand our compassionate approach and vibrant lifestyle.

What Makes Lilac Trace Memory Care Different?
We have distilled our philosophy into what we fondly call the “3 C’s of Memory Care.”
These 3 C’s of Memory Care—connection, collaboration, and compassion—form the backbone of our approach, creating an environment where individuals with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and Parkinson’s are not defined by their conditions but instead supported in a way that allows their true selves to shine through.
This holistic, personalized approach helps every resident experience a life of dignity, engagement, and joy, making Lilac Trace a place to live and thrive.
Our approach begins with a better understanding of who we’re caring for. Our care associates are trained to walk alongside each resident on their individual journey. Our proprietary tools enlighten care associates while honoring each resident’s legacy:
- A “Moments in Time” questionnaire that provides a personal biography and life history.
- Personalized wellness plans that include daily care and engagement opportunities.
- “Vault of Memories,” a collection of meaningful memorabilia, reconnects residents with special moments from their life journeys.
- We create evidence-based dementia-specific programs and activities to engage residents daily.
Continual collaboration with families is vital to the successful day-to-day care of our residents and is at the heart of everything we do:
- Our Bridge App provides real-time communication with families.
- Support groups that provide education and resources for families.
- Ongoing family wellness conferences to review residents’ progress in Lilac Trace Memory Care.
Every Lilac Trace Memory Care neighborhood provides exceptional services and care in a nurturing environment.
- We offer dignified dining, understanding residents’ preferences and abilities.
- We manage resident medications with respect and patience.
