Enrichment Beyond Expectations^TM

Welcome to a life of endless possibilities and personal growth. Health Dimensions Group^® (HDG^®), our management company, is excited to introduce you to our life enrichment program: Enrichment Beyond Expectations^TM. Our life enrichment programming is guided by our dedication to fostering an environment in our senior living homes where individuals can realize their potential, form meaningful connections, and experience a level of flourishing they never dreamt possible.

Focused on the eight dimensions of wellness— Purposeful, Physical, Relational, Emotional, Spiritual, Intellectual, Developmental, and Environmental— our team at Lutheran Living strives each day to make meaningful connections, create distinctive activities, and deliver new experiences in support of our residents’ overall health and well-being.

Dimensions of Wellness

Enrichment Beyond Expectations is dedicated to providing comprehensive programs to our senior living communities that support our holistic approach to our residents’ well-being. Our commitment to enhancing our residents’ lives is realized through our team’s implementation of a well-balanced and purposeful lifestyle that encompasses:

Purposeful

Cultivate a hopeful outlook and agility when faced with life’s challenges.

Physical

Promote physical health through quality care, culinary arts, movement, strength, and balance.

Relational

Inspire social interaction and meaningful connections with others.

Emotional

Cultivate a hopeful outlook and agility when faced with life’s challenges.

Spiritual

Support a sense of belonging and inclusivity through the spiritual and religious programming which matters most to each person.

Intellectual

Stimulate brain and cognitive health for residents of all levels of care through lifelong learning and challenging activities.

Developmental

Environmental

Ensure safety, accessibility, and comfort in the physical environment.

At Lutheran Living, each resident’s customized, senior living experience begins with our team chronicling their life story so we may thoroughly get to know them and deeply understand their background, preferences, interests, talents, and abilities. Each person’s life story is a foundation that provides our heartfelt team with resources needed to develop a personalized, holistic approach to the care and services we deliver each day. By cultivating meaningful relationships with our residents, we design person-centered activities and experiences that resonate with each person on a deeper level.

Moments Beyond Expectations^TM

Our signature memory care program was developed using evidence-based approaches from the Alzheimer’s Association^® and validated by dementia and geriatric research. We prioritize the unique needs and strengths of each resident, going beyond just the diagnosis. By crafting personal life stories and conducting regular assessments, we gauge our residents’ abilities and curate activities based on their interests and natural flow of the day. Overall, our methods promote independence and empower residents to perform daily tasks as they are able, with our team offering support whenever necessary.

Specialized Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Training

To ensure our team is fully versed in the care of those with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, our key care team members participate in essentialz^®, a comprehensive training and certification program. Developed by the Alzheimer’s Association, the program educates professional care workers on dementia-related disease and how to safely, confidently care for individuals residing in memory care. By delivering high-quality dementia care training, teams have the resources to help improve communication between caregivers and individuals living with dementia, a reduction in dementia-related behaviors, and increased team satisfaction.

As a Fit Minds, partner, our team members have access to a variety of specialized training in the key areas of cognition. Some have taken this training even further and have been designated as certified cognitive coaches.
