Memory & Dementia Care For Seniors in Woodland Hills, CA

early- to mid-stage memory care assistance

Mezzanine

We recognize that there’s often a gap between typical assisted living and memory care. That’s why The Variel offers the Mezzanine for those experiencing early- to mid-stage memory loss. Think of the Mezzanine as an “in-between” level of specialized care. Mezzanine meets residents where they are in the memory loss journey. It includes assistance and memory support that is more than what is available at home. Yet, it is not as comprehensive as full-service memory care.

Mezzanine helps residents maintain as much independence as possible while offering support as needed. Innovative programs are designed to provide assisted living with memory care, and include activities that keep residents active, interested and involved.

Coordinated care to support residents and their families.

In both Mezzanine and Tessera, our care team works with the resident, the resident’s physician and family members. This process – bolstered by the MOSAIC approach to person-centered care – allows us to develop the best care plan for each resident. In addition to all the medical details, The Variel care team becomes familiar with each resident’s preferences and personality. We ask about family history and accomplishments. We get to know family members when they visit. The overall goal is to create a lifestyle that is comfortable, familiar and rewarding for each memory care resident at The Variel.
