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.

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.
