Enhancing quality of life for the memory impaired

Memory impairments take on many forms and affect many
lives. Daily tasks, once considered routine, become
increasingly frustrating for the memory impaired as their
world becomes unfamiliar.

At Hamilton House of Farmington
Hills, we recreate the "familiar" for
the memory impaired, by creating a
total environment that considers
every facet of daily living. From our
state-of-the-art design to life
enrichment programs, Hamilton
House focuses on maximizing quality of life. Most
importantly, our staff has expertise in caring for and
working with people with memory impairments.

Visit Hamilton House today to learn how we can restore
dignity, challenge, friendship and joy in the life of someone
you love.
