This means understanding who they are and what their life has been about. With an appreciation for their uniqueness, we craft our program to meet their needs and abilities. Some residents might have a more independent lifestyle, while others may need more personal assistance. We can cater to each unique need and create individualized treatment plans. Each person has a biography in our “Family Album” that gives us a glimpse into their life achievements and experiences. This includes where they grew up, their life accomplishments, and their careers. It includes their families, their pastimes and talents, and what brings them joy. ## ## Daily Life at Our Memory Care Community We involve our senior residents to encourage a sense of purpose and support them along the way. We’re not about bureaucracy, we’re about finding solutions and making life better for people who have little control over their minds and fewer choices about their lives than any of us would want. Each resident has a private room at Clifton Woods. We have a common dining room, kitchen, living room, and brand new “great room” for residents to spend time together. Our home allows for both privacy and independence and opportunities for socialization with staff and other residents. ![Quality care at assisted living facilities in Abingdon Maryland](https://cedarcreekassoc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Alzheimers-care-Silver-Spring.jpg "2") ### ### Dementia and Alzheimer’s Activities We have a unique and individualized activity program, structured to meet the needs of residents with memory loss.
