Dignity and Belonging Through Memory Care

There is no universal solution to dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. Each case is as unique as the mind it affects. The Lilac Trace Memory Care neighborhood at Somerby Santa Rosa Beach deploys a research-backed care philosophy by certified dementia practitioners (CDP) to create a stable, comfortable environment that promotes stability and wellness.

Inspired by the best-selling book Meet Me Where I Am, our philosophy emphasizes the importance of connecting residents to their past while celebrating their present. The five key elements of our Lilac Trace philosophy: 

  1. We treat everyone as an individual. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to care.
  2. We respect each resident by understanding their individual history.
  3. We walk side by side with each resident daily and accept people for who they are now.
  4. We understand that behaviors and expressions are a form of communication.
  5. We strive to make each moment special.

Through a diverse program of social events, educational experiences, physical fitness, and nutritional support, we make sure every Lilac Trace resident gets the care and support they need.
