Ohio Living Breckenridge Village Skyview Studios

We are a Memory Care Center of Excellence certified through the Hearthstone Institute’s I’m Still Here® program, which leverages environmental adaptations, specialized communication techniques, staff training and life enrichment programs to focus on engagement for people experiencing all levels and types of dementia. To receive certification with the I’m Still Here® program, every staff member in our Memory Care Center completed extensive training to become a Dementia Specialist. Following their training, they worked individually with Hearthstone Institute staff over multiple visits to turn the principles learned in training into opportunities for meaningful engagement that respects residents’ choices and opinions.

Space inside the Memory Care Center at Ohio Living Breckenridge Village has been thoughtfully designed with a layout that minimizes confusion, which reduces stress and agitation as a result. Tailor-made activities and amenities like outdoor gardens and transportation to community outings also enhance the memory care patient experience.

Our memory care area utilizes Behavior-Based Ergonomics Therapy (BBET), which consists of four therapies customized to each individual resident's interests and capabilities, as a complement to group activities: music therapy, video therapy, stimulating therapy and memory prop therapy. Lucynt, an interactive gaming experience, is another active engagement measure our teams use to encourage movement and provide cognitive stimulation.
