Highview Residences

Highview Residences is a specially designed environment accommodating 24 persons with Alzheimer’s Disease or related dementias. The building consists of two linked ‘cottages’ for 12 persons each. Designed in collaboration with Uriel Cohen of the University of Wisconsin, a leader in the field of dementia design, the model of care is based on normalizing the environment, to not only look like an ordinary home but also to function like one. 

For instance, meals are all prepared in the kitchen of each cottage; with resident participation encouraged to the degree of their ability. Families are likewise encouraged to be as involved in the day-to-day lives of the residents as possible.
