Some of the most powerful moments in Memory Care for seniors living with Alzheimer’s or dementia are the simplest ones.
Like when a resident hears a familiar song and their face softens — the rhythm offering comfort before words can. A Seasons Retirement Communities team member notices and gently turns that moment into connection: a smile, a shared hum, a sense of being understood.
This is the heart of person‑centred Memory Care at our locations such as Seasons Stoney Creek — our approach to supporting seniors through dignity and meaningful daily experiences.
A Growing Call for Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care in Ontario
As Canada’s population ages, more citizens are navigating the realities of dementia. According to the Alzheimer Society of Canada, nearly one million people in Canada are expected to be living with dementia by 2030, with numbers continuing to rise.
Seasons recognizes the growing need for specialized dementia care for our residents and responded by developing a person‑centred Memory Care program designed to support residents and families with compassion, safety, and understanding.
Supporting a Loved One with Memory Changes
Searching for Memory Care in Ontario can be overwhelming — there may be a mix of concerns and uncertainty being experienced — along with the desire to ensure your loved one is respected and well-cared for.
Many families ask:
Seasons Memory Care, for example at Seasons Stoney Creek, is designed to support not only physical safety, but also emotional well-being and a sense of belonging for residents and peace of mind for families.
What Makes Seasons’ Person‑Centred Memory Care Different
Embrace Today® is Seasons’ person‑centred approach to Alzheimer’s and dementia care. Our team members focus on the present moment — offering calm, consistency, and personalized support rather than rigid schedules.
Our philosophy is built on five core pillars:
This model helps our Memory Care residents, like those at Seasons Stoney Creek, living with dementia feel respected, secure, and valued — every day.
The specially curated activity programs purposefully support the body, mind, and spirit through brain‑engaging activities, gentle daily movement, and sensory and calming programs.
Supporting Families and Honouring Life Stories
Strong dementia care extends beyond our residents alone. Seasons hosts peer support gatherings for families and team members to create a safe, supportive space to share experiences and strengthen partnerships in care. This collaborative approach reinforces trust, continuity, and communication — all essential elements of high‑quality Alzheimer’s and dementia care.
Every resident’s story matters. Through our “Legacy Today” journal, we work with families to capture accomplishments, interests, and preferences. These insights help shape personalized care plans and deepen meaningful connections between residents and our team members.
A Moment That Reflects Our Memory Care Philosophy
Picture a day where your surroundings feel unfamiliar, and routines are hard to follow. Now imagine a trusted person beside you who does not rush or correct — but instead offers reassurance and choice.
“Would you like to walk with me for a bit, or would you prefer to sit by the window?”
This moment reflects our belief that strong dementia care should always preserve choice, dignity, and respect, even as needs change.
Seasons Commitment to Residents and Their Families

We understand that choosing Memory Care for a loved one is deeply personal. Our role is to listen to you and your loved one’s needs and support you to determine the next step with assurance and confidence.
