Innovative Approaches to Cognitive Stimulation in Personal Care Facilities

November 26, 2024

At The Hickman, we are committed to personal care that promotes cognitive stimulation in support of vibrant lifestyles, and we spare no effort in the process. We strive to balance the level of assistance each resident needs with their own level of independence, and our award-winning programs speak for themselves. If you’re interested in a warm and welcoming community that prioritizes your health, well-being, inner life, and individual freedom, look no further than The Hickman in Pennsylvania.

We Take a Holistic Approach to Personal Care Services

Our approach to personal care services is designed to bolster each resident’s independence while providing the individualized assistance needed – without infringing on anyone’s sense of self or the joy they take in life.

Delicious and Nutritious Dining

Food is one of life’s many pleasures, and a healthy, diverse diet is an important component of cognitive health. And at The Hickman, we take this matter seriously. Our professional chefs prepare three nutritious meals a day that include a wide range of options that appeal to everyone’s palate. We aim to provide inviting meals that tempt our residents’ appetites, and we never skimp when it comes to celebrations.

Support that Is Tailored to Each Resident

Not every resident needs the same level of support, and our care plans reflect this fact. Our services are designed to address each resident’s unique needs, which frees them to focus on enriching cognitive pursuits. By focusing on the following, we help to ensure that our residents are well-prepared to enjoy endeavors that focus on their thoughts and mental pursuits:

  • Their overall health and medical needs
  • Their background
  • Their preferences

This approach fosters the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have the independence to live life on your own terms with only the level of assistance you need to do so.

A Diverse Calendar of Events

We maintain a full and diverse calendar of events that appeal to each resident’s unique tastes and preferences, including:

  • Daily exercise options that help keep our residents physically and mentally challenged
  • Clubs that are led by the residents themselves
  • Diverse opportunities for learning
  • Activities in town – we’re a brief walk from West Chester’s vibrant town center – that help deepen connections to the community at large, which in turn fosters improved cognitive processes

All the Comforts of Home

When you’re here, you’re home, and we offer the kind of elevated services that make your home feel special, including:

  • Laundry services
  • Housekeeping
  • An in-house salon

Living a healthy life and having a healthy lifestyle sets the stage for a more vibrant inner life.

Our Personal Care Services Were Designed with You in Mind
