TRUDE’S HOUSE
The Gertrude (Trude) Zalar Foundation was founded by Dr. Richard Zalar as a tribute to his wife Trude and as a way to assist other families who struggle as he did to find quality Alzheimer’s care. As a physician and author, he has dedicated his resources and energy to the Foundation. When you visit Trude’s House at The Stratford at WestClay, the artist rendering of Trude represents the love and joy that Dr. Zalar and Trude shared, a love he has not allowed the ravishes of Alzheimer’s to diminish or distinguish. Through his work with the Foundation, he has kept alive her memory through art and music programs, caregivers’ training and family support programs.
Although Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of dementia can impact a person’s ability to engage in their daily routine, staff at Trude’s House encourages resident independence with all activities of daily living, through an activity-based model of care which encourages a sense of fun and joy for residents and families. Caregivers solve problems and preserve resident dignity by giving residents a sense of security, stability and togetherness.
At Trude’s House at The Stratford at WestClay, residents enjoy The Active Lifestyle They Deserve in The Neighborhood They Love® through an activity-based program of art, music, horticulture and pet therapy. A balance of physical, social, intellectual, spiritual, creative, work related and spontaneous activity is promoted. The goal is to provide each resident daily opportunities to engage in activity that has meaning for him or her.
At Trude’s House, we believe in the celebration of life. If you'd like to learn more, please request more information or come for a visit.
