Prestige Way is dedicated to helping residents thrive as they navigate the changes and challenges of aging.
Providing innovative, award-winning, licensed senior care, Prestige Way offers assisted living—24-hour assistance with “activities of daily living,” including mobility, eating, dressing and bathing—and memory care for residents who have Alzheimer’s disease or other types of dementia. Short-term stays and respite care are also available.
Allowing seniors to “age in place” is a primary goal at Prestige Way, said Ann Stibitz, director of community relations.
“Our goal is for residents to not have to move to another place to get the care they need,” Ann said. “That takes a lot out of the person.”
To that end, Prestige Way works with home health agencies, therapy agencies, hospice and other organizations that come in and provide care, just as they would if the resident were in their own home. Prestige Way has a nurse on staff who develops individualized care plans and is on call 24/7.
Residents also have the opportunity to participate in a variety of planned activities and outings.
Ann, a certi ed speaker for the Alzheimer’s Association who is passionate about caregiving, pointed with pride to Prestige Way’s “Moments in Time” Montessori program for memory care residents. It’s designed to allow residents with dementia to remain as independent as possible in a secure environment where they are treated with respect and dignity.
“Care is much different today than even 10 years ago,” said Ann. “We meet them where they are, cognitively. That may change from day to day, moment to moment. There’s lots of redirection and creativity.”
Prestige Way’s parent company, Meridian Senior Living, is the fth-largest company of its kind in the country and growing quickly, Ann said. It provides care and life services for more than 7,400 residents, “one at a time.”
