Family members and friends are warmly welcomed at Saint Therese any time!

Saint Therese has compassionate caregivers present 24/7 for residents, including registered nursing assistants, licensed practical nurses, registered nurses and skilled support teams. Whereas physicians regularly visit our communities, residents are encouraged to continue seeing their personal providers. (We can also help arrange transportation upon request.)

Once your loved one is admitted, you’ll meet with Saint Therese’s nurses and skilled support teams to evaluate your loved one’s current health condition and medical history. We empower our employees to take the time needed to fully understand your loved one’s every day goals and personal preferences. And, together, you’ll design a care plan unique to your loved one.

The average length of stay for Saint Therese’s transitional care guests is typically 2 to 3 weeks.

Sometimes we need just a little extra help, and that’s okay! Since we’re all unique, recovery time is different for each of us.

The first thing you’ll notice is the secured entry to Saint Therese memory care neighborhoods, encompassed outdoor spaces and that the safety of all our residents is top priority. Just like within traditional long-term care, employees serve memory care neighborhoods 24/7 but the provided care is highly personalized and specialized—and that requires a few more helping hands. Saint Therese memory care employees receive ongoing training and education so each are prepared to appropriately respond to dementia-related symptoms like agitation, wandering or sundowning. In addition, scheduled memory care activities and events are designed to engage, stimulate and socialize residents living with moderate to late-stage dementia.

As we age, we become more forgetful. Mild change is a normal part of the aging process. When memory loss is not manageable by making simple concessions like forming lists, keeping a calendar or retracing steps, there may be cause for concern. If you notice a loved one’s well-being is potentially in jeopardy—unpaid bills piling up, he or she gets lost behind the wheel or you’ve considered unhooking the stove —give us a call.

Absolutely. A residency at Saint Therese is designed to ensure you have more opportunities to socialize and connect with your loved one. Whereas there are some reasonable guidelines we ask family members to consider, we encourage loved ones to remain an active source of support and in our residents’ lives.
