Memory Care in Creve Coeur | The Grande at Creve Coeur

Dignified Memory Care for Your Loved One

Dementia and Alzheimer’s are complex cognitive conditions that affect everyone uniquely. The Grande at Creve Coeur is a Lilac Trace Memory Care community operated by certified dementia practitioners (CDP) who follow a well-researched care philosophy.

Inspired by the best-selling book Meet Me Where I Am, our Lilac Trace philosophy emphasizes the importance of connecting residents to their past while cherishing present moments. The five key elements of our Lilac Trace philosophy:

We treat everyone as an individual. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to care.
We respect each resident by understanding their individual history.
We walk side by side with each resident daily and accept people for who they are now.
We understand that behaviors and expressions are a form of communication.
We strive to make each moment special.

Compassionate, personal, innovative—these are our memory care goals at The Grande at Creve Coeur. Through a diverse range of social events, physical fitness activities, and nutritional support, we give every resident the care and attention they deserve.
