At Pomperaug Woods, we have focused our decades of medical and caregiving expertise into facilitating the “Heartfelt Connections” memory care program. This is a specially designed program developed by Life Care Services and only available at Life Care communities.

First, this unique program centers on assisted living residents with early-stage dementia. That means our residents still engage in an active, independent lifestyle, and the supports we put in place to specifically address dementia issues serve to prioritize safety, foster self-esteem, and encourage socialization. This individualized approach to memory care provides the highest quality of life possible to those with dementia.

Second, our Heartfelt Connections program takes a distinctively individualized approach to care, where our residents follow their own preferences, their own timetable, and their own interests so that living at Pomperaug Woods feels exactly like living at home. And that’s because this is their home, with their favorite recliner, their favorite pastimes, and their favorite foods. Memory loss is a journey, and Pomperaug Wood’s Heartfelt Connections program aims to make that journey as meaningful as possible for both the resident and their family. We pave the way for family members to get back to the heart of happiness found in spending time with their loved one, without the worry and fears that come with being the sole caregiving resource 24/7.
