Welcome, Francois Bend Senior Living, to the Memory Care Excellence Network
We’re thrilled to welcome Francois Bend Senior Living — and its Around the Bend memory care program — into the NCCDP Memory Care Excellence Network (MCEN). Earning the Memory Care Seal of Excellence is a meaningful milestone that recognizes a deep, organization‑wide commitment to compassionate, person‑centered dementia care.

Why This Recognition Matters

Achieving the Seal affirms that Francois Bend has met rigorous standards set by the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners. It validates months of training and teamwork—giving families confidence and giving staff a moment of real pride. Most importantly, it signals that high‑quality practices aren’t just “available”—they’re delivered consistently with empathy and excellence.  The team at Francois Bend has a Certified Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia Care Trainer (CADDCT) and offers FREE Memory Care Seminars to families and team members alike.
