Essentia ® Program

Prospect Park Residence provides memory-impaired residents with a lifestyle that has all the comfort, safety and convenience of home while offering the support and assistance they require. Essentia® - A Secure Memory Impairment Program, is a structured, seven-days-a-week therapeutic activity-based program. We distinguish ourselves by offering the dementia care that every resident deserves and every family member can trust. Our specially trained staff members provide each memory-impaired resident with individual, daily therapeutic programming that makes the most of current skills and abilities. The goal of our program is to help residents lead a meaningful and dignified life.

 
It can be one of the most difficult things imaginable to watch a loved one slip in and out of dementia. Their frequent and chronic inability to remember your most treasured memories can cut right to your core. The unfortunate truth is that almost five million people in the United States suffer from some form of this disease. Through our Essentia® program, residents are getting comprehensive dementia care while they're loved ones get peace of mind. We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to memory-loss treatment. Each resident has their own individual strengths and resources that help them battle this illness. Our customized approach gives the residents the care they need for the lives they deserve.
