- JMJeannine MansAug 23, 20254.0I just spent 10 days in the Transitional Care unit and had a very good experience. In the beginning it was difficult as I needed help to go to bathroom etc. They are short staffed so it took longer than I hoped but everyone was very kind and compassionate. Special shoutout to my aides Kamala, Christine, Anna, Odel, Alvin, Midas and Irene. They were very professional and kind. I love the PT and OT departments so will be back for my continued therapy. Thanks again

We just ask loved ones to help us maintain the mobility and accessibility of all by limiting choices to those best suited for the selected care suite or room. Contact us with questions.
What are Saint Therese's visiting hours?
Family members and friends are warmly welcomed at Saint Therese any time!
When are nurses and physicians on site?
Saint Therese has compassionate caregivers present 24/7 for residents, including registered nursing assistants, licensed practical nurses, registered nurses and skilled support teams. Whereas physicians regularly visit our communities, residents are encouraged to continue seeing their personal providers. (We can also help arrange transportation upon request.)
How do I know how much care my loved one needs?
Once your loved one is admitted, you’ll meet with Saint Therese’s nurses and skilled support teams to evaluate your loved one’s current health condition and medical history. We empower our employees to take the time needed to fully understand your loved one’s every day goals and personal preferences. And, together, you’ll design a care plan unique to your loved one.
How long do most people need transitional care?
The average length of stay for Saint Therese’s transitional care guests is typically 2 to 3 weeks.
How is memory care different than traditional long term care?
The first thing you’ll notice is the secured entry to Saint Therese memory care neighborhoods, encompassed outdoor spaces and that the safety of all our residents is top priority.
Just like within traditional long-term care, employees serve memory care neighborhoods 24/7 but the provided care is highly personalized and specialized—and that requires a few more helping hands. Saint Therese memory care employees receive ongoing training and education so each are prepared to appropriately respond to dementia-related symptoms like agitation, wandering or sundowning.
In addition, scheduled memory care activities and events are designed to engage, stimulate and socialize residents living with moderate to late-stage dementia.
How do I know if my loved one needs memory care?
As we age, we become more forgetful. Mild change is a normal part of the aging process. When memory loss is not manageable by making simple concessions like forming lists, keeping a calendar or retracing steps, there may be cause for concern.
If you notice a loved one’s well-being is potentially in jeopardy—unpaid bills piling up, he or she gets lost behind the wheel or you’ve considered unhooking the stove —give us a call.
When my loved one resides in your secured memory care neighborhood, can I pick them up for a day trip or off site family event?
Absolutely. A residency at Saint Therese is designed to ensure you have more opportunities to socialize and connect with your loved one. Whereas there are some reasonable guidelines we ask family members to consider, we encourage loved ones to remain an active source of support and in our residents’ lives.
I am caring for my loved one at home. Do you offer caregivers any resources?
We’re here for you. We have a number of resources you can benefit from. Saint Therese has support groups as well as a robust pastoral care program available to you for free.
If you’re considering senior living as the next chapter, our respite care is offered in our residences for up to four weeks. This short-term stay supports caregiver vacations, assists in transitions to a new lifestyle as a member of a Saint Therese community, and acts as a perfect “trial run” to ensure Saint Therese senior living is the best next step.
What kind of innovative dementia / memory care programs do you offer?
We incorporate personalized programs, amenities and activities catered specifically to residents living with dementia-related diseases, such as:
Music and Memory© programming with furnished iPads and iPods
Therapeutic Serenity Babies
Reminiscence therapy
Music therapy
Décor & design strategies like limiting use of mirrors, incorporating natural light & removing loud patterns

Can my loved one choose an apartments now and then later move into the secured memory care neighborhood when their dementia progresses?
Yes. That’s exactly why Saint Therese offers a continuum of care. Saint Therese has memory care for seniors who prefer a private apartment setting. Those living with early to moderate-stages of dementia find apartment living provides freedom to do more every day in a worry-free setting.
Care center neighborhoods provide individuals with moderate to late-stage dementia the benefit of comfortable living space tailored to meet every day needs.
