 If you are seeking additional support for a family member who
is living with Alzheimer's disease or another memory impairment,
consider the "Heritage Program" available only in AON long-term
care homes.
Our Heritage Program is based on the "STEP" approach to
dementia care, with one area in each AON home dedicated to
providing unique care and services in a comfortable and safe
environment.
Specialized Training – Our staff receives specialized
training in methods to help manage the unique needs of residents
suffering from memory impairments.
Thoughtful Design – we provide 24-hour care in separate and
secure environments, complete with dining rooms, outdoor
courtyards, and furniture and décor that feel like home. The
beautifully landscaped courtyards are secure and feature safe
walking paths for residents and areas for horticultural therapy
programs.
 Engaging Families – For the loved ones of residents with
dementia, we offer a variety of programs and tools, including a
resource library, educational seminars, and support groups. We
work closely with the local chapters of the Alzheimer's Society
to provide these supports and to stay abreast of developments in
dementia care.
Purposeful Activities – we focus on activities that increase
the quality of life of our residents. These range from familiar,
structured routines that ensure our residents are comfortable
throughout their day, to activities that stimulate and nurture
their mind, body, and spirit.
 At AON long-term care homes, our highly skilled staff ensures
that residents with memory impairments live in an atmosphere
that is reassuring and supportive of their needs and identities.
At AON Long Term Care homes,
we
focus on the individual.
