Three Pillars offers a continuum of care for people with dementia encompassing a range of residential services designed to meet evolving needs as conditions progress. This spectrum begins with supportive environments like assisted living facilities and memory care units, and progresses to skilled nursing, which offers 24-hour medical supervision and tailored therapeutic interventions. This continuum ensures individuals receive appropriate, compassionate care at each stage of their journey, enhancing quality of life and supporting families throughout the process.

Our cognitive health support programs are designed to empower and support individuals across the full cognitive health continuum, from those seeking to maintain their brain health to those living with cognitive changes and the people who support them.  Our mission is to enhance well-being and quality of life for all. Programs include engaging brain health programming, dementia education and training, community speakers, social events, and a lending library. Other resources include information and referrals, support groups, online education and support, educational materials and cognitive health and memory screenings

Passions and Preferences

Right now, you are the expert on your own life. You know exactly how you like your eggs cooked, which music lifts your mood, what topics of conversation engage you, and what routines make you feel at home. This document is designed to capture those nuances in your own words while you can express them for yourself.

Most of us understand the importance of planning for the "big" things, such as medical directives or end-of-life wishes. While those decisions are vital, we often overlook the small, everyday preferences that actually make up the fabric of a "normal" day. By documenting these daily rhythms now, you ensure that even if big changes occur, your life continues to feel familiar, personal, and uniquely yours.
