Kline Galland Home’s secure Memory Care community in Seattle is devoted to providing compassionate care for Jewish individuals facing the difficulties of Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia. Residents receive structured, supervised care that allows them to make choices and retain their independence and dignity while continuing to engage in rituals and customs important to them. Jewish holidays are celebrated, meals are strictly kosher, and local Seattle rabbis regularly visit residents throughout Kline Galland Home.
Our specially trained care team has years of experience and is highly skilled in anticipating, understanding, and meeting the needs of residents. Personal attention is a critical element of our Memory Care program; each caregiver serves a small group so they can build a loving and lasting relationship with each individual.
Keeping Residents Engaged in Jewish Life
Our robust activities program helps ensure that residents are able to continue to lead joyful, purpose driven, and religiously oriented lives. We customize activities to individual interests and abilities; some examples are:
- Discussion groups on Judaism, which are led by community rabbis.
- Shabbat services in our on-site synagogue.
- The Music & Memory program, a nationally recognized program that provides individuals with personalized music playlists available on digital devices.
- Drama therapy that fosters a sense of pleasure and connection.
- Creative storytelling where residents can express themselves in a non-judgmental environment.
- One-on-one activities for residents who shy away from group interaction.
The Importance of Family Involvement
Family members are an integral part of the Memory Care resident’s care team. They can provide essential information about religious history as well as insight into their loved one’s needs and preferences. This makes it easier for caretakers to bond and provide meaningful, targeted care.
We offer a skilled nursing option, accepting Medicare, Medicaid, and other forms of insurance, for those dealing with the challenges of Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia.
