Passionate and Personalized Services for Memory Care in Texas

Our loving team considers caring for our residents in The Cottage their passion. At Valley View Senior Living, we support this passion with ongoing training in positive, person-centered dementia care. We have also incorporated Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach™ to Care (PAC) into our memory care programming to enhance residents’ lives. Our approach ensures team members can truly get to know each resident and offer the kind of personalized assistance they need.

We love it when our team and residents bond, so we actively encourage meaningful relationships between them. These relationships benefit the resident by allowing their caregivers to be more intuitive and flexible in their care.

Enticing Memory Care Dining Experiences

In The Cottage, food is about both nutrition and the experience. We serve freshly made meals with warm, friendly service and offer a resident-centered menu designed to abide by the latest nutritional guidelines in physical and cognitive wellness. Individualized dietary monitoring and tailored menu selections are provided as well according to the preferences of our residents.

In The Kitchen is an engaging piece of our activities program. Residents will help create a meal by shucking corn, mixing dough, or whisking batter to complete the selected dish. The Memory Care Coordinator will then take the ingredients into the kitchen to complete the food or snack for everyone to enjoy. We also have Spice Club where residents smell the ingredients and discuss which recipes they could make or have made.

By creating opportunities to engage with our residents using food, we go beyond providing a healthy diet and into another way to connect.
