Certified dementia caregivers are then permanently assigned to each resident to increase familiarity with their individual preferences, routines and needs.

The Positive Approach TM to Care creates more opportunities for residents to experience moments of success, thereby maximizing feelings of freedom and choice. The program emphasizes that quality of life is as important as quality of care. Serenades at The Villages is easily accessible from CR 466 and Belvedere Blvd near the Publix Shopping Center.
