Clifton Lutheran Sunset Home recognizes the needs of persons experiencing dementia to be different from persons who experience other issues associated with aging. Dementia care requires specially trained individuals who approach care with an ability to assess needs based on behavior. Our approach is provide an unhurried, relaxed atmosphere during meals, bathing, and other activities of daily living.

Our philosophy for care in the secured unit is to promote security, comfort, dignity and understanding while working closely with families to determine the needs of the residents. The unit provides a spacious environment that allows for a variety of group and individual activities to occur simultaneously. Amenities include a covered porch, enclosed gardens, and a water fountain where residents can enjoy the outdoors. Residents are encouraged to use the indoor and outdoor walking routes for daily exercise.

Support for family members of persons experiencing dementia is of the utmost importance. Clifton Lutheran Sunset Home hosts a local Alzheimer’s Support Group in conjunction with the North Central Texas Alzheimer’s Association and encourages involvement of family members and friends, as well as interested community members.
