We remember what’s important.
Memory Care that emphasizes dignity and independence in Cromwell, CT serving the greater Hartford area.
Caring for a loved one throughout the stages of memory loss can be emotionally and physically draining. At Covenant Living of Cromwell, we provide the peace of mind that your loved one is receiving the care they deserve while maintaining a sense of familiarity and comfort. Each member of our care team initiates person-specified programs designed to help ease the challenges of Alzheimer’s or related dementia all in a secure, comforting environment in the Hartford, Connecticut area.
The memory care program is anchored by the SAIDO Learning program in partnership with the KUMON Institute of Education and exclusively licensed by Covenant Living.
What is THE SAIDO Learning Program?
SAIDO Learning is a non-pharmacological intervention that has been shown to interrupt the progression of Alzheimer’s and other related dementias. Unlike other memory support programs SAIDO is individualized, non-pharmacological and focuses on what our residents can do versus cannot do. SAIDO learning is appropriate for all states of dementia, it is an intentional engagement versus activity.
Like daily physical exercise, SAIDO can be viewed as an exercise for one’s brain. Residents are encouraged in our assisted living memory care communities to participate in five sessions per week. Social interactions reduce the isolation felt by so many individuals living with dementia. SAIDO offers a truly personalized experience, deepens connections with family and loved ones, and enhances professional development for our care team.
Research has shown SAIDO Learning is an effective program in improving symptoms such as a reduction in agitative behaviors, as well as isolation through increased socialization. Read more about evidence-based outcomes of SAIDO learning.

At Covenant Living of the Great Lakes, sharing a first name is reason enough to become friends. It started when Marge Schick met a few other Marjories and threw a party. Now there are six Marges, a group of Bonnies, and eight Patricias who get together for lunch, stories, and treats.
In a community this size, many of them might never have crossed paths otherwise. Turns out a shared name is a pretty good way to find your people. 💛 bit.ly/4xYR0Oz ... See MoreSee Less
