Personalized Music and Memory Program
Music and Memory is a nationally recognized program that helps the elderly connect with the music that they love, providing them comfort, mental stimulation and improved overall function. Custom, individualized music playlists are created for each resident and listened to on a regular basis. The music's therapeutic benefits are then monitored and noted by Sterling staff.
Pet Therapy and More
Residents enjoy regular visits from gentle, patient, friendly dogs through Sterling's successful pet therapy program. Although dogs are frequent visitors, don't be surprised to see turtles, owls, iguanas and other exotic pets as part of various nature center presentations hosted by Sterling throughout the year.
Sterling ensures that residents are exposed to a wide variety of stimulating activities, including engaging demonstrations, presentations and visits from museums, organizations and fun individuals in the community. We even have horticultural therapy in the Spring and Summer when residents are encouraged to touch and 'smell the roses.'
One-on-One and Group Activities
Sterling Care's activities staff is onsite from 8 am to 6 pm daily, interacting with residents one-on-one and in groups, playing live music, leading discussions and singalongs, serving meals, playing trivia and word games plus so much more. Residents also enjoy regular visits from outside vendors, musicians, museums, schools, camps, artists, scientists, to name a few.
Observance of Jewish Holidays, Customs & Traditions
Sterling Care Kosher Assisted Living is known for its family-like, warm Jewish environment. We take pride in sharing our Jewish traditions with our residents. Shabbos and the holidays are observed with all their wonderful customs, meals and rituals...including candle lighting, kiddush, hamotzie, 100% strictly kosher food, divrei Torah, singing, shofar, Megillah and much more. Plus, there is a wheelchair accessible synagogue right next door for those who would like to attend services.
