Montessori-Based Memory Care With Dignity & Purpose

Expert Support, Personalized Engagement, and Peace of Mind in Washington Township

A Memory Care Community That Treats Every Moment With Meaning

At Fairmont Senior Living of Washington Township, we understand that a dementia diagnosis doesn’t take away a person’s individuality, purpose, or capacity for joy. Our memory care community is thoughtfully designed to support seniors with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia using the Montessori-Inspired Lifestyle®, an approach that nurtures strengths, promotes dignity, and encourages independence.

A GoldFairmont Senior Living of Washington Township is honored to hold the Gold Credential in Montessori Inspired Lifestyle® from the Center for Applied Research in Dementia, showcasing its dedication to exceptional and innovative care.

Here, residents aren’t defined by their condition—they’re celebrated for who they are.

Montessori Memory Care That Makes a Difference

Personalized Daily Routines and Enrichment

We meet residents where they are—building a familiar rhythm to each day through activities tailored to individual interests, backgrounds, and cognitive abilities. Whether it’s painting, gardening, or folding towels, every action serves a purpose in building confidence and comfort.

Safe, Structured, and Supportive Environment

Our memory care neighborhood provides secure entryways, clearly marked paths, and comforting layouts to support autonomy and reduce confusion. Residents feel calm, safe, and at ease, helping reduce anxiety and behavioral challenges.

Montessori-Based Engagement for Cognitive Health

Through Montessori memory care principles, we focus on tactile, visual, and interactive activities to stimulate memory and maintain fine motor skills. From matching games to memory boxes and sorting tasks, each activity is designed to foster connection and cognitive stimulation.
