Ancora Memory Care at Marian Village

Our Ancora Memory Care program focuses on pivotal areas to ensure comprehensive, person-centered care.

1. Thoughtfully Designed Physical Environment

Every detail is carefully planned to ensure a safe, supportive and welcoming environment. Secure outdoor courtyards for peaceful strolls, cozy private rooms for comfort and serene spaces to unwind. We strive to create a warm, inviting home where residents can truly thrive.

Natural lighting, familiar layouts, biophilic design elements and way-finding cues promote comfort, reduce confusion and encourage a sense of belonging throughout the community.

2. Integrated Wellness Approach

At the heart of our care is each resident and family we serve. Whether helping with daily tasks or preparing delicious, nourishing meals, we focus on what truly makes a difference. Our residents benefit from on-site health services and personalized care plans designed to grow with their needs. With continuous, compassionate support, we’re here to make every day brighter and better.

Our holistic wellness model integrates cognitive therapies, physical activities, emotional support programs and spiritual enrichment opportunities to nurture the mind, body and spirit.

3. Meaningful Engagement Activities

Every day, we create activities and programs that spark the mind, energize the body and uplift the spirit. Our Life Enrichment™ programming empowers residents to embrace life and achieve their goals.

Daily engagement includes reminiscence therapy, sensory activities, music and dance sessions, art workshops, gentle fitness classes and social gatherings to encourage connection, creativity and happiness.

4. Respecting Dignity

We prioritize respectful communication, foster independence and provide compassionate support. Our commitment is to ensure every resident feels valued, respected and genuinely empowered within our community.

Team members receive specialized training to adapt communication styles, celebrate personal achievements and provide personalized encouragement every step of the way.

The Ancora Integrated Care Approach: Three Pillars of Personalized Support

At Marian Village, everything we do is rooted in the Ancora Integrated Care Approach—a comprehensive model built on three core pillars that ensure each resident is supported as a whole person.

1. Person-Centered Care

  • Individualization – Each care plan reflects the resident’s history and identity
  • Dignity and Respect – Residents are supported with compassion and autonomy
  • Relationship-Based Care – Trust is built through consistent, meaningful connections
  • Family Collaboration – Loved ones are part of the care process
  • Whole-Person Focus – We consider physical, social and emotional well-being every day

2. Programs of Distinction

At Marian Village, each individual’s experience is enriched through thoughtfully developed programs that engage their unique interests and strengths. Our Programs of Distinction offer opportunities to connect, create and rediscover joy.

  • Culinary Club: Cooking classes, kitchen-based reminiscence and meal planning that spark conversation and connect to meaningful memories.
  • Creative Corner: Art projects, hands-on crafting and seasonal creative activities designed to promote relaxation and imagination.
  • Musical Memories: Group sing-alongs, individual playlists and music-based therapies that tap into powerful emotional memories and cognitive response.
  • Franciscan Ministries University: Lifelong learning opportunities and educational enrichment to stimulate curiosity and promote a sense of purpose.
  • Adventures in Faith: Spiritual programming that honors individual beliefs and strengthens a sense of peace and connection.
  • Technology with Heart: Intuitive digital tools and therapeutic technology (like virtual reality) that foster engagement, connection and exploration.

3. Seven Dimensions of Wellness

  • Physical – Movement, nutrition, rest
  • Emotional – Uplifting, stress-reducing support
  • Intellectual – Memory games, storytelling and learning
