ANAHEIM, Calif., Dec. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Walnut Village, a Front Porch Community in Anaheim, California, announces the Grand Opening of their new, expanded memory care neighborhood.

"Summer House at Walnut Village takes the best of person-centered care and adds an additional element: the importance of relationships in a therapeutic environment," said Debbie Infield, Executive Director of Walnut Village.

Incorporating the Six Senses of Caring Relationships approach to care, Summer House at Walnut Village dementia care program recognizes and honors the three relationships that are critical in providing quality care:  the relationship between the resident, their loved ones, and the staff who provide the daily care.  "By addressing the needs of all three audiences, a partnership of care is created. We don't just honor the quality of life of the resident, but rather the quality of lives of all who are involved in the resident's memory journey," said Infield.  "Our program for dementia care is truly person-centered, relationship-based."
