Loving and caring for a person with memory loss means adapting to ongoing change and losses. For those with dementia, each day can be filled with unfamiliar routines and people.
There are over 100 causes of dementia, with Alzheimer's as the most common cause. Lydia's house was created and designed for men and women with mid-stage or advanced memory loss as a natural extension of our continuing care retirement community.
Lydia’s House provides a safe, nurturing home where residents are accepted and their physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs are met, both day and night.
People living with dementia should still be part of the greater community.
Mennonite Village partners with Dementia By Day to offer a dementia care program that reflects the values of the residents who call Lydia’s House their home. This exciting program is called PurposeFullLife.
Over the years, many teachers, farmers, and other highly engaged community members from the Albany area have entrusted us to care for them in this phase of their life while they live with dementia. They inspired us to design a program that emphasizes community service and engagement. Through the PurposeFullLife program, residents are given opportunities to serve and continue to engage with their community.
Examples include hand-crafting items to donate to local nonprofits (such as mats for the local animal shelter).
