Reviews of The Village of Arbour Trails
Mavis Morton, family member
"Both my dad and I have had very positive experience with staff. They're happy to answer questions. I do think one of the significant changes is actually how I feel. It has given me great relief. I used to have a lot of sleepless nights. I was always worried about: what if something happened? I just feel so much relief and confidence. I know that many times a day someone is coming in to provide medication or to take his temperature or whatever. If he didn't show up at the dining room, someone wou..."

Dementia & Memory Care (definition)
Cost from $4,800
Emma's neighbourhood is designed for residents living with memory loss and offers care and recreation programs specifically designed for those with Alzheimer's Disease and other related forms of dementia. Residents will enjoy private time in either a studio or one-bedroom suite, while also having access to gathering spaces and programs in the Neighbourhood, as well as larger Village programs on Main Street. At Schlegel Villages, we believe there is no “loss of self”, but rather a “change in self” with the progression of dementia. Our Signature Program, LIVING in My Today, supports people living with dementia as they tap into their strengths, express themselves and enjoy the comfort and security of friendships in a place where they experience acceptance and belonging. Our emphasis on developing relationships while understanding the experience of those living with dementia forms the foundation of The Five Pillars of LIVING in My Today: (MEETS) Meaningful and Active Engagement, Enjoyable Mealtimes, Empowered Care Partners, Thoughtful Design and Supportive Approaches. Our dedicated team works with and cares for residents, supporting them to live well each day, regardless of what that day looks like. We’re proud of the foundation we’ve built in LIVING in My Today and the extensive work and collaboration that brought the program to life.
