Celebrate Dementia Care Validation Week: Meet Me Where I Am

Independence Court of Hyattsville, a Priority Life Care community, is proud to celebrate the First Annual Validation Week, August 17–23.

The community joins Priority Life Care communities across the country in recognizing the importance of compassion, connection, and person-centered dementia care.

Held in partnership with the Validation Training Institute, this inaugural celebration is centered around the theme “Meet Me Where I Am.” Validation Week reminds caregivers, families, and community members that meaningful connection begins by listening, understanding, validating feelings, and meeting each person where they are in their journey.

Throughout the week, Independence Court of Hyattsville will host activities that celebrate residents’ life stories while helping families and community members learn about the power of Validation.

Independence Court of Hyattsville has become an extension of our family . The ICH family cares for my mom, under the leadership from Marla. Marla is always available to speak with me and she’s always open to suggestions to increase the quality of life for my Mom and all the seniors at Independence Court. My questions and or concerns are addressed and resolved quickly. I rely heavily on her expertise as a Director of the ICH assistant living facility. If Marla wasn’t the Director there my mom would not be living there. The facility is neat, clean, needs some updated audiovisual equipment, but the staff really cares about the well-being of my Mom and the other seniors at the facility. I have recommended this facility as a viable place for seniors to live and thrive.

My mom has been a resident for two years now and has had a great experience. I have learned a lot from the experience of the staff, and they have been very accommodating to ever-changing (and challenging) situations due to my mother's dementia.

I frequently visit an old friend who has lived at Independence Court for about 4 years now and I must say the first thing you notice when you walk in is how nice it smells. Which I can't say for every assisted living I visit. It's noticeably clean and the staff is wonderful with my wheelchair bound friend. I usually bring lunch and we sit outside on a bench admiring the grounds but he also seems to be pleasantly happy with the food in the dining room. I want to thank all of the staff who goes above and beyond keeping him cleaned up and helping him to the bathroom with care and dignity.
