NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Five Star Senior Living (Nasdaq: FVE), one of the nation’s leading
senior living and healthcare services providers, today announced the
addition of memory care apartments at Morningside of Georgetown in
Georgetown, South Carolina. Five Star’s award-winning Bridge to
Rediscovery (BTR) program is an innovation leader in memory care,
designed to address the unique capabilities and interests of each
resident, while encouraging family involvement every step of the way.
The program is research based and encourages stimulation of senses,
independence and one-on-one interactions in patients suffering from
Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
“We are excited to bring The Bridge to Rediscovery program to the
Morningside of Georgetown,” said Scott Herzig, Five Star’s Chief
Operating Officer. “The new wing includes a gardening area, a new dining
room and signature elements designed to engage our residents. We want
our residents to feel capable and empowered by the environment they are
in, and also want to encourage families’ and guests’ interactions while
visiting.”
The renovation, which is designed to maximize natural light, features 14
modernized private and semi-private suites, large custom designed common
areas such as family-style dining, and a beautifully landscaped secure
outdoor garden with walking paths. Residents have the ability to go
outside in a safe environment that gives them some independence back
while keeping families at ease.
BTR is the winner of multiple Argentum (formerly Assisted Living
Federation of America) “Best of the Best” awards. This prestigious
national award recognizes excellence in senior living programming.
Residents enjoy an award winning program as well as care provided by a
professional and attentive team in a community with all of the warmth
and hospitality of home.
