The Meridian at Brandon

Memory Care is provided in a secure, specialized neighborhood, with supervised access to amenities. Its programming is identified as MONTESSORI MOMENTS IN TIME™. The described approach draws on each resident’s life history, preferences, interests and past occupations to inform activities and communication, and may help staff shape engagement when a resident is upset. Families are asked to share a resident life story before move-in, including context about family connections and personal interests.
