Welcome to Barteit Haven: A Personal Care Home for Memory Impairments
At Barteit Haven, we provide a compassionate, specialized environment for elders experiencing memory loss, dementia, or Alzheimer’s disease. Our community is designed to help residents maintain their routines, enhance their quality of life, and live safely in a secure and engaging setting.
Each resident’s experience is thoughtfully tailored to promote comfort and independence. To assist with recognition and orientation, every bedroom door features a unique color palette and style. Our large enclosed courtyard offers a safe outdoor space with a walking path and multiple sensory areas, allowing residents to enjoy fresh air and gentle movement in a calming environment.
We utilize innovative dementia care strategies to support cognitive well-being. The It’s Never 2 Late™ programming takes a holistic approach to engagement, helping residents stay active, connected, and fulfilled. Additionally, we integrate Sound Blanket technology to improve sleep quality by creating an optimized sonic environment. By reducing nighttime disturbances, fall risks, and behavioral challenges, without the need for medication, Sound Blanket fosters deeper, more restful sleep, benefiting both residents and caregivers.
At Barteit Haven, we also embrace the Living GEMS® approach, developed by Teepa Snow and the Positive Approach® to Care Team. This model acknowledges that cognitive abilities fluctuate and that supportive environments can create opportunities for moments of clarity and engagement. By seeing individuals as precious, unique, and capable, we create a care partnership that allows every resident to shine.
More than just a care home, Barteit Haven is a place where residents can thrive with dignity, purpose, and compassionate support.
