Signature Programs
A dynamic daily calendar of social, recreational, and cultural events.
Joyful Connection to Enrich Each Day
Alamar is a beautiful community filled with premier amenities, but the true heart of Alamar lies in the connections residents make each day.
Alamar offers a wide variety of exciting Signature Programs, helping us build a dynamic daily calendar of social, recreational, and cultural events. Seasonal celebrations, lively game nights, rousing group classes, and more fill our social calendar, and each resident has the opportunity to choose as many or as few activities as they’d like to fill their days. They can also take advantage of free transportation to medical appointments, shopping, and entertainment venues to expand their horizons.
A Day in the Life at Alamar
Picture it: you wake up in your bright, airy apartment, ready to greet the day. You look forward to sitting down to a hot cup of coffee and delicious breakfast with your friends, and you are only a short walk away from a morning filled with laughter and busy planning for the rest of the day.
You decide to head to the fitness center for one of the invigorating exercise classes offered each week, ready to get your blood pumping along with your neighbors as the expert program leader guides you through the moves. After class, you decide to cool down outside, enjoying the breeze and the beautiful courtyard. You can order a tasty lunch at Alamar’s bistro before heading out since you and your friends have scheduled time to go to town. The friendly, attentive driver takes you anywhere you like, from iconic Worth Avenue to the luxurious local golf courses, so you can focus on enjoying your afternoon.
Once you return to Alamar, you can enjoy a gourmet dinner at our fine dining cafe, spend the rest of your evening in the game room, at the in-house theater, or just relax in your beautiful apartment.
Each day at Alamar is a day away from worries. Our friendly, expert team handles your needs, and you’ll have access to daily Signature Programs to enrich your day so you—and your new friends and neighbors—can focus on the finer things in life.
Valeo™ Signature Programs
At Alamar, the Valeo™ memory care neighborhood is a distinctive community where you—or your family member—are celebrated as unique individuals. You will engage in enriching activities that speak to your personality and interests, all with support from a team that safeguards your well-being by getting to know you personally.
Some of our Valeo Signature Programs Include:
Create & Compose
Artistic expression and music have proven therapeutic benefits, and recent neurological research shows those benefits may offer substantial support to older individuals with memory impairments such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Studies show that art and music-based activities can improve cognitive function, helping the brain compensate for the effects of aging and moderating the impacts of memory impairments.
Beyond the cognitive health benefits, art and music help people to relax and relieve stress. They also offer opportunities to connect over a shared enjoyment of songs and artistic pieces. Create & Compose offers musical and artistic activities to help residents benefit from creative expression’s therapeutic and stress-relieving benefits. Programs are designed with residents in mind, offering guided instruction from program leaders and time for independent, freeform expression so residents can enjoy art and music in ways that speak specifically to their tastes.
Legacy Kit
A Legacy Kit enables you and your loved ones to create a physical representation of the most important events and interests in your life. Your legacy matters, and the Legacy Kit is a place to collect photographs, mementos from your favorite life experiences, and important possessions that demonstrate your personality and interests. The Legacy Kit serves two purposes. First, your mind is stimulated as you work through a lifetime of memories, helping you maintain cognitive function. Second, as you collect each item, you can share stories about your life with those closest to you. Your Legacy Kit helps you revisit your memories as often as you want, and you can pass that lifetime of experience on to your children and grandchildren, helping to honor and preserve your legacy.
Travel Times
People living with Alzheimer’s or dementia often enjoy the chance for connection and engagement that comes with visiting positive places and engaging in positive activities. Travel Times gives residents the chance to safely travel to new spaces and familiar, beloved places. With Travel Times, residents can disconnect from daily challenges and stress, offering a chance to enjoy life’s adventures, recharge, and focus on finding joy in their lives.
Creature Comforts
Animals are an important part of many people’s lives. Studies show that playing with and petting furry companions can lower stress levels and offer an ongoing sense of contentment and joy. Bonding with pets can also lower rates of heart disease, anxiety, and depression. Creature Comforts brings gentle animals such as dogs and birds into our memory care community to offer residents the calming benefits of pets.
During Creature Comforts events, residents can interact with these well-trained animals in a safe, supportive space. We encourage residents to connect with the guest animals and with each other as they share stories of the animals that impacted their lives. When residents share and bond with the animals, we can see clear benefits such as a greater sense of community and more capacity for engagement.
VITA!
Routines help make life easier for most people, and the nature of memory impairments makes routines even more important to those with various forms of dementia. To someone with Alzheimer’s or dementia, a routine is a comforting way to organize their day. The familiar helps those with memory impairments cope with daily living, so a strong routine can provide purpose and structure.
VITA! is a program that ties into the comfort and structure of routines to enhance the physical and cognitive benefits of different activities. Our highly-trained wellness team uses VITA! programming to incorporate evidence-based mental stimulation activities, like brain teasers, and physical activity, like exercise, into residents’ daily routines. Residents who regularly participate in VITA! activities experience a greater sense of calm throughout their day and are often more focused on positive self-care. Every addition is designed to be fun and engaging, so residents’ daily routine starts to feel like an even more positive part of their lives.
