Welcome to
In everything we do, every day, our mission is to make life better for our residents . At Aspen Woods of Vernon Hills, we have created a safe and welcoming environment, where nurturing caregivers recognize each resident as a special and unique individual. Aspen Woods is uniquely designed to support seniors with dementia or cognitive impairment. Just because an individual may suffer
from physical challenges or memory impairment does not mean they have lost their spirit. The team at Aspen Woods shares one very important overall goal: A passion for seniors and a commitment to enhancing and honoring their lives.
L ocated in a quaint neighborhood in the town of Vernon Hills is Aspen Woods. At Aspen Woods, we approach the needs of our residents in a holistic way. With our approach, we believe we can maximize the abilities and minimize the losses of those in our care.
We know the health of our residents is paramount, but the quality of their social day is equally important. With that in mind, we have developed meaningful activities for our residents that duplicate, as much as possible, the experience of living at home. A day for a resident at Aspen Woods of Vernon Hills will have a flow to it that allows for rest, normal day-to-day activities, spiritual enrichment, exercise, healthy food, plenty of laughter and fun—all delivered in a safe, clean and supportive environment.
Our Memory Care Program
Aspen Woods utilizes resident-centered care, a strategy emphasizing an adaptive service plan that meets the holistic needs of each resident and adapts care and services based on their preferences. Fundamentals of resident-centered care include knowing what makes each of our residents unique and complete, including their values, beliefs, interests, abilities, likes and dislikes— both past and present. This information informs every interaction and experience. We recognize and accept each resident’s reality to see the world from their individual perspectives. Doing so recognizes behavior as a form of communication, thereby promoting effective and empathetic communication that validates feelings and connection. Every experience and interaction is an opportunity for engagement that is meaningful to, and purposeful for, the individual living with dementia. It should support interests and preferences, allow for choice and success and recognize that even when the dementia is most severe, the person can experience joy, comfort and meaning in life. Our residents are treated with dignity and respect, and their individuality is always supported. It is about “doing with” rather than “doing for” as part of a supportive and mutually beneficial relationship. Our approach creates and maintains a supportive community for individuals, families and team members that allows for comfort and opportunities for success. We value each person and respect differences, celebrate accomplishments and provide access to engagement and shared experiences. We evaluate care practices regularly and make appropriate changes. It is important to regularly evaluate progress and practices, share findings and make adjustments to interactions, programs and practices as needed.

Getting to Know Your Loved One
From learning about your loved one’s favorite vacation to sharing their love for pizza, we take the time to get to know each and every one of our residents. When your loved one stays here, you both will have meaningful relationships with our exceptional staff and a strong support system. We train our staff in communication and cultural sensi- tivity in order for them to provide the best care for your loved one. Our staff talks to the resident, not around them, so they always have a voice in their care. We also know that memory care is never a linear path and are open to change with our residents. With an emphasis on incident-prevention, we adapt our rou- tines and programs to fit the needs of your loved one safely and quickly.
We’re here with you, for you and will stand by you.

Fundamentals of Our Program
ENGAGING ACTIVITIES Therapeutic, structured, daily activities are based on residents’ individual strengths. Programs focus on cognitive, creative, community, motivation, physical, social and spiritual wellness. SOCIALIZATION & CONNECTION Specially developed group activities help caregivers connect with residents and engage in unplanned, yet purposeful—and successful—activities. REST & RESTORATION Personalized activities help manage challenging behaviors while promoting solace, relaxation and reflection to maintain a calm, supportive environment. MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS Close resident-caregiver-family relationships build familiarity and trust while empowering residents to remain active, connected and fulfilled.
NUTRITION Mealtime menus are enhanced by pampering services such as oshibori, the Japanese pre-meal tradition of using warm towels infused with essential oils to freshen hands, to prepare residents for the sensory experience of dining. SUPPORT Care is provided by a specially trained, experienced team who understands the disease process and is devoted to helping each resident share their own unique gifts. SENSE OF PURPOSE Our engaging, individualized approach to living is based on each resident’s unique strengths, abilities and interests—ensuring residents enjoy meaningful, purpose-driven days. ENVIRONMENT Serene, welcoming settings provide a genuine sense of home and belonging, positively impacting behavior, encouraging interaction and reducing stress.
