40 LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 8.17 Residents and adult daycare participants harvest the good life at Heartsong Gardening, raising chickens and gathering eggs are just some of the healthy, therapeutic activities that the residents, adult daycare participants and their families enjoy at Heartsong Memory Care. Specializing in the care of seniors with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, one of Heartsong's defining characteristics is that it is fully licensed in both its 36-bed residential personal care home and adult day health care settings. This enables your loved one to receive health services from licensed nurses. Not all memory care programs can offer that level of care. Stimulating activities such as trivia, singing and games promote cognitive functioning, physical health, and spiritual and social well-being. On-site physician visits and therapies ensure a personalized medical care plan in a secure environment in which patients are free to independently move about indoors and out. Sacred Heart Home renamed Nazareth Home. Two Homes. One Name. One Mission. Since 1976 elders and their families have placed their trust in Nazareth Home at 2000 Newburg Road to provide quality care. Recently, Nazareth Home expanded this trust and care by adding a second facility, formerly Sacred Heart, now Nazareth Home-Clifton, in the Clifton neighborhood. Nazareth Home's person-centered philosophy creates an empowering environment where positive relationships are fostered between the elder and staff through consistent assignment of staff, communication and family engagement and the goal to reinforce each elder's sense of purpose. Whether an individual requires personal, memory, skilled or rehabilitation care, their mind, body and spirit are treated with ultimate care and consideration at Nazareth Home and Nazareth Home-Clifton. Mary N. Haynes, president of Nazareth Home, explains: "We are now one ministry, one mission and one purpose. Our strong reputation at Nazareth Home is due to our commitment and intentional focus on person-centered living and directed care. Our community partners can expect the same culture at Nazareth Home-Clifton."
