Mother of Perpetual Help Memory Care Addition
The dedicated memory care expansion equips the Mother of Perpetual Help senior living building in helping individuals impacted by memory loss. Two thirteen unit households each feature a kitchen, living and dining areas, a multi-purpose area, and a more quaint, private lounge. The community also has a central courtyard, salon, and therapy room. The design features oversized windows, which is known to improve resident quality of life. Each block of four resident rooms has a different color door with a coordinating shadow box for help with wayfinding.
Cardinal Ritter Senior Services sought Vessel for our reputation of providing a high level of service to create this household model or “greenhouse” community. Their mission is to create communities that promote the dignity of human life and reflect the spirit of Jesus Christ. We’re thrilled to have created a community where our elders and their families can flourish amidst the challenges of memory loss.
