A Signature Program Delivered with Care

Daybreak is Heritage Senior Living’s signature memory care program. Designed to serve those living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, this specialized program blends thoughtful care with a gentle yet structured approach to support each resident’s needs, abilities, and preferences. Daybreak’s structured daily schedule offers residents in memory care supportive and engaging activities. 

At Heritage Green Lynchburg, the Daybreak Memory Care neighborhood is specially designed to empower residents through Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach® to Care (PAC). This structured, person-centered philosophy helps residents continually explore their own abilities and find renewed purpose. By truly getting to know residents, we create a personalized lifestyle for each individual that honors their unique needs and enhances their well-being.

Why a “Positive Approach” Matters

The Daybreak program ensures that we provide a warm, nurturing, and secure environment for residents living with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other memory loss. Our highly structured neighborhood is designed to promote independence and socialization, helping residents live full, dignified lives.

Through nutritious meals, consistent routines, and engaging activities, we enhance each resident’s quality of life. Central to our philosophy is the Positive Approach® to Care, which guides all interactions between our caregivers and residents. This means we recognize the unique needs of each individual, highlight their strengths, provide compassionate support, and foster respectful and meaningful relationships.

Positive Approach® to Care

Developed by Teepa Snow, one of America’s leading dementia educators, the Positive Approach® to Care (PAC) is the code by which we treat our memory care residents, and all of our caregivers are trained in this advanced method of caregiving.

The PAC philosophy focuses on an individual’s retained abilities while providing necessary support. Building on this philosophy, Daybreak focuses on what makes residents happy by continuing what they can do, instilling fulfillment in the moment. We encourage our care team, family, and friends to cherish every moment for as long as it lasts.
