Supporting Every Stage of the Journey
If you are seeking professional support for a loved one in Norfolk County—including Franklin, Bellingham, Wrentham, or Southwest Boston—you deserve a community that prioritizes dignity and connection.
At the Enclave of Franklin, we understand that a dementia diagnosis affects the whole family. Our specialized neighborhood is designed to provide more than just safety; it is a place where residents find purpose and joy through personalized care.
Serving local families from Medway, Blackstone, Millis, and Braggville, we offer a nurturing environment that honors each resident’s unique life story.
What Is Dementia Care?
Dementia care is a specialized form of senior living created to support individuals living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.
Our approach centers on:
- Safety & Security: Secured entries for safe, free movement.
- Specialized Training: Certified staff trained in memory support.
- Purposeful Engagement: Daily activities built for cognitive success.
We move beyond standard assistance by providing a structured, person-centered environment that focuses on the specific emotional and physical needs of the resident.
Is Dementia Care
the Same as Memory Care?
Yes, dementia care and memory care are identical services.
While families usually search by the medical diagnosis of “dementia,” senior communities use the term “memory care” for their secure environments and expert-led support programs.
At the Enclave of Franklin, we offer:
- Individualized Wellness: Care plans adapted to changing needs.
- 24/7 Supervision: Professional staff available around the clock.
- Environmental Cues: Layout designed to reduce resident confusion.
Who Is Dementia Care For?
Dementia care is ideal for seniors in Foxborough, Cumberland, and Attleboro who require more supervision than what is available in traditional assisted living.
It is a necessary step when:
- Caregiver Stress Increases: Professional support for overwhelmed family members.
- Safety is a Concern: Protecting loved ones prone to wandering.
- Daily Tasks Become Difficult: Professional guidance for hygiene and nutrition.
- Social Isolation Occurs: Creating connection when hobbies become difficult.
Our Approach to Dementia Care
Inspired by the heartwarming principles of the best-selling Meet Me Where I Am—An Alzheimer’s Care Guide, our “Meet Me Where I Am” philosophy is at the heart of everything we do. Rather than focusing on what may have been lost, we cherish and celebrate the unique individual standing before us, creating moments of connection and joy.
With compassionate care led by certified dementia practitioners, our team is devoted to making every moment meaningful. This thoughtful, person-centered approach is the foundation of our R.E.A.C.H. for Life program, which brings a gentle, nurturing rhythm to daily life while focusing on the 3 C’s of memory care.
We provide personalized care by understanding each resident’s unique story.
Using tools like the “Moments in Time” questionnaire, customized wellness plans, and memory-focused programs, we foster connection and create a supportive, engaging environment.
We work closely with families to provide exceptional care, offering tools like the Bridge App for updates, wellness conferences, and support groups to keep them informed and connected.
Our mission is to ensure families feel supported and confident in their loved ones’ care.
Lilac Trace offers compassionate care in a nurturing environment, focusing on dignity and respect for every resident.
Services include personalized dining, medication management, daily activities, lifelong learning, and music therapy, all designed to promote well-being.
Here, residents feel valued, supported, and truly at home.
