Leading the Way in
Memory Care

From virtual reality (VR) experiences to cognitive stimulation tools, we employ state-of-the-art innovations that foster engagement, improve cognitive function, and create meaningful moments.
M.O.N.T.A.G.E. Holistic Memory Care Program
For those residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, RiverSpring Residences offers the MONTAGE Holistic Memory Care program. Based on state-of-the-art, evidence-based memory care, the program is named for the seven core elements of living a meaningful life: Memories, Opportunities, Nurture, Travel, Arts, Growth, and Exercise.
The program is grounded in the values of respect, dignity, and community, and is designed to improve the well-being of our residents with memory challenges and enhance meaning, purpose, and joy. MONTAGE offers three levels of programming to ensure we are meeting each resident’s needs.
Many MONTAGE participants love reminiscing about people, events, and experiences from their distant past. This is especially meaningful as they may have difficulty remembering more recent events and feel more emotionally grounded when reflecting on earlier memories. Reminiscing can take place in a group discussion or through reading about family memories via Famileo—a private, family-specific social network that allows families to easily share news.
Many of us find purpose in our lives by helping others. Participants in the MONTAGE program have opportunities to give back to their RiverSpring Living community by helping set up tables for meals, folding laundry, preparing snacks, or gardening for our farm-to-table program.
Using Rendever® VR headsets, MONTAGE participants can expand their worlds and interpersonal connections. They can be virtually transported to places they’ve always wanted to see, revisit their hometowns, attend the weddings of favorite relatives, or play interactive games like “Pop the Balloon” with other residents.
One of our participants’ favorite activities is singing as a group—often facilitated by the SingFit PRIME app. Designed specifically for people with dementia, SingFit PRIME facilitates an interactive, social music group that includes singing, movement, trivia, and reminiscence to stimulate and activate the whole brain and body.
Reading is not just enjoyable—it also has protective neurological benefits and reduces stress. Reading circles also foster friendships. MONTAGE participants with minimal memory loss read to other residents and lead book discussions, giving them a sense of purpose and pride. Residents with more advanced memory challenges can follow along with the stories, either by listening or by reading through Rendever® VR headsets.
Studies have shown that physical activity can slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease and improve memory and cognition. The MONTAGE program offers numerous opportunities for residents to participate in ballroom dancing, chair hockey, hiking, strength training, tai chi, Zumba, and other forms of exercise. In addition, our Obie system features a library of interactive, engaging games designed by gerontologists and cognitive neuroscientists to engage seniors and people with memory challenges.
Keeping Families Connected
Unlike traditional memory care programs, our Connections Program takes residents on carefully curated off-campus outings that encourage engagement, foster reminiscence, and allow families to create new memories together. Through these dynamic experiences, which range from trips to museums and botanical gardens to visits to iconic New York landmarks, Connections helps residents stay connected to the world around them, and helps families maintain their bond with their loved ones.
A Continuum of Care in
Riverdale New York
One of the key advantages of RiverSpring Living is our commitment to providing a seamless continuum of care for all residents. As needs evolve, we offer memory care at every level, and Skilled Nursing at The Hebrew Home at Riverdale. This means that residents, including couples who have different needs, can continue to live within our vibrant, 32-acre campus as their care needs change, without you ever having to stress or worry about having to relocate.
We Treat Your Family
