Symphony Senior Living’s Forest Valley Terrace is a retirement community unlike any other in Ottawa.
Sitting atop a hill overlooking St. Joseph Blvd. with a marvelous view of the Gati-neaus, Forest Valley Terrace can provide assisted living and memory care for those living with Alzheimer’s and dementia in a compassionate, warm, and fully supportive environment.
Forest Valley Terrace offers assisted living in a gracious and home-like sur-rounding. The Wellness Team will com-plete a full assessment to establish how to optimally meet each individual’s needs. Their first priority is to assist each resident in maintaining their maximum level of wellness and independence. Then, as the individual’s needs change, the staff may increase the amount of support needed to maintain their independence.
Residents also enjoy a full schedule of events and outings. The activities program, which includes visits to Tim Hortons, shopping trips, as well as in-house activities, has been created to provide a balanced approach to well-being, keeping body, soul, and spirit active and healthy.
Forest Valley Terrace takes great pride in its food services, with delicious meals prepared fresh every day by the dedicated kitchen staff. They are able to take care of any dietary needs a resident may have associated with diabetes, Celiac disease, or food-specific allergies.
Forest Valley Terrace also provides the highest level of security for its residents, which in turn provides peace of mind for their families. A medical professional is available 24 hours a day who can immed-iately respond to any emergency needs that may arise.
For families struggling with memory loss, Forest Valley Terrace offers a proprietary program called Moments Memory Care, developed by Symphony Senior Living, that provides memory support services for individuals living with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
The Symphony Sorority is the latest innovation in Alzheimer’s and dementia care offered by Symphony Senior Living. This one-of-a-kind sorority is offered exclu-sively for women to encourage shared experiences and strong bonds within the community. Forest Valley Terrace provides personalized assisted living and senior care services in a safe, secure, and loving memory care environment, located on the top floor.
Forest Valley Terrace team members are specially trained and partner with organ-izations that study and support the care of people with dementia. Their approach is to minimize disruptions, confrontations, and agitation.
It’s also important to help families under-stand the condition and how they can continue to make meaningful connections with their loved ones, without frustration. They assist families in understanding and accepting their grief while joining their loved one on their journey.
Forest Valley Terrace has rooms available for respite care, as well as day programs for seniors dealing with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
