I’m Still Here®

Located on the campus of Sterling Estates in West Cobb, The Grande a Sterling Estates of West Cobb offers exceptional person-centered memory care complemented by an engaging lifestyle rich in dignity, fulfilling activities and rewarding experiences. This is truly The Sterling Life.

But there’s one feature that truly sets us apart from others.

After six months of in-depth team training with the Hearthstone Institute, The Grande at Sterling Estates of West Cobb has been designated as a Hearthstone-Certified Memory Care Center of Excellence, one of only 27 communities in the country to earn that distinction.

Hearthstone is a recognized world leader in the development and utilization of non-pharmacologic interventions for persons with memory challenges. This is the quality and integrity in Memory Care that we demand for our residents. Nothing less will do.

As such, our Memory Care community is proud to offer Hearthstone’s I’m Still Here® approach to care.

I’m Still Here®

I’m Still Here® is based on the belief that a person living with Alzheimer’s or dementia, is “still here” and can experience a high quality of life regardless of the degree of memory loss.
Through I’m Still Here® programming, residents of The Grande at Sterling Estates of West Cobb will live with purpose, discovery and joy.

Experiences. Not Busy Work.

I’m Still Here® recognizes that meaningful engagement for our Memory Care residents increases their quality of life. More importantly, it decreases the severity and frequency of most common symptoms of dementia known as the four A’s of Alzheimer’s: Apathy, Anxiety, Agitation and Aggression.

Meaningful programs and activities offered within I’m Still Here® replace busy work with:

  • a full social life
  • new learning experiences
  • group participation in varied and enjoyable activities that include favorite hobbies and pastimes

At The Grande at Sterling Estates of West Cobb, we know that no two people in our care have the same needs, abilities or likes. Understanding that each resident is unique, I’m Still Here® programming provides three levels of activity experience every day, throughout the day:

The result? Increased feelings of confidence, significance and well-being. Our residents matter.

Studies have shown that most people remain curious throughout their lives and enjoy learning new things, even if they’re living with memory challenges.
