Located in Seattle’s Seward Park neighborhood, Kline Galland Home’s secure Memory Care community is devoted to the compassionate care of individuals grappling with the challenges of Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Here, residents find solace in a structured and supervised environment that not only respects their autonomy but actively encourages them to make choices while preserving their independence and dignity. The community is dedicated to honoring the rituals and customs that hold significance to each resident, fostering a sense of continuity and connection.
In our Memory Care community, Jewish traditions are embraced, fostering an inclusive atmosphere that welcomes residents of all backgrounds. Jewish holidays are celebrated, meals are thoughtfully prepared according to kosher standards, and local Seattle rabbis routinely visit to provide spiritual support. Our commitment to cultural sensitivity extends to honoring the diverse beliefs and practices of all of our residents and ensuring that everyone feels valued and supported.
At the heart of our Memory Care program is a specially trained care team with extensive experience in addressing the unique needs of individuals facing memory-related challenges. This dedicated team possesses a high level of skill in anticipating, understanding, and meeting the evolving needs of residents, providing a safe and supportive environment. Recognizing the importance of personal connections, our caregivers serve small groups, fostering intimate relationships with every resident. This personalized approach not only ensures that residents receive the attention they require but also cultivates a loving and lasting bond that is central to the well-being of those entrusted to our care. At Kline Galland Home, we strive to create a sanctuary where memory care is not just about preserving memories but also about honoring the essence of each individual.
Keeping Residents Engaged in Jewish Life
Our robust activities program helps ensure that residents are able to continue to lead joyful, purpose driven, and religiously oriented lives. We customize activities to individual interests and abilities; some examples are:
- Discussion groups on Judaism, which are led by community rabbis.
- Shabbat services in our on-site synagogue.
- The Music & Memory program, a nationally recognized program that provides individuals with personalized music playlists available on digital devices.
- Drama therapy that fosters a sense of pleasure and connection.
- Creative storytelling where residents can express themselves in a non-judgmental environment.
- One-on-one activities for residents who shy away from group interaction.
The Importance of Family Involvement
Family members are an integral part of the Memory Care resident’s care team. They can provide essential information about religious history as well as insight into their loved one’s needs and preferences. This makes it easier for caretakers to bond and provide meaningful, targeted care.
We offer a skilled nursing option, accepting Medicare, Medicaid, and other forms of insurance, for those dealing with the challenges of Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia.
