Heartfelt CONNECTIONS - A Memory Care Program®

Heartfelt Connections logo with heart symbol and program description.

The Delaney is the only place for memory care in Waco, TX, to feature the renowned Heartfelt CONNECTIONS - A Memory Care Program® for those with Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias. This person-centered philosophy is grounded in the belief that the abilities that remain are far more important than those that are lost.

Our team employs reminiscence tools to help our residents’ family members and loved ones capture the details of residents’ lives—their careers, hobbies, likes and dislikes. We then apply the insights gained from each life story to create an individualized care plan that promotes physical and emotional well-being, prolongs daily functioning and maintains a sense of purpose, satisfaction and quality of life.
