Special care

Fairmount Homes Heartwood, Fairmount's special care residence for persons with memory loss, is designed to serve the needs of residents at risk for exiting the facility or with dementia. Heartwood's physical design and the emotional support provided by staff create an environment of comfort, nurture and security. Staff preserve resident dignity by working with each individual and his/her own cognitive level.

Heartwood's specialized design compensates for visual and auditory losses and provides a safe place for residents to walk freely. An enclosed courtyard provides a safe place for residents to enjoy being outdoors with staff, joining in gardening, walking our residential companion dog and other outdoor activities.

For residents who need the comfort of a secure environment, Fairmount's Heartwood residence is truly a haven.
