Tempus: The Claiborne’s Signature Dementia Care Program

Tempus is The Claiborne’s dynamic and engaging approach to providing care for our residents living with dementia. Dementia is an umbrella term for several diseases affecting memory, other cognitive abilities and behavior, such as Alzheimer’s, Lewy Body, etc…. The name Tempus is Latin for time. Individuals living with dementia often live in their own reality, on their own timeline. In Tempus, that’s where we will meet them.

Program Pillars

Team Member Education & Training

Tempus specific onboarding for staff with ongoing education and training.

Family Education & Communication

iN2L is easy to use and requires no computer experience. Simply touch a picture on the screen to begin enjoying fun activities.

Connected Care Technology

Safety, Dignity, and Peace of Mind All Day, Every Day

Caring for a loved one with memory loss means trusting that someone is always looking out for them, even when you cannot be there. Our connected care technology gives the memory care team the tools to do exactly that. With AI-powered fall detection, a connected nurse call system, and smart safety monitoring, our caregivers get real-time information so they can respond quickly, help prevent incidents, and keep your loved one safe while respecting their independence.

Our memory care team is always present, prepared, and supported by technology designed to protect everyone in our care.

Safety Monitoring

Our smart safety system helps the team keep residents secure while respecting their dignity and freedom to move within the community. Caregivers are also alerted when certain doors open after hours, adding a layer of security around the clock.

AI-Powered Fall Detection

Our fall detection technology gives the care team early, meaningful alerts so they can respond quickly and help keep a situation from escalating.

Nurse Call & Care App

A modern nurse call system connects to our caregivers’ app, so alerts are instant, responses are tracked, and your loved one never waits long for help.


What is connected care?
Connected care gives our memory care team the real-time tools and information they need to keep your loved one safe, respond quickly, and make informed decisions around the clock. It brings together safety monitoring, fall detection, nurse call, and caregiver tools in one seamless system.
How does it help keep my loved one safe?
Our caregivers receive immediate, meaningful alerts when your loved one may need attention, whether that is a potential fall, an unexpected change in movement, or a call for help. Our team can respond faster and with more context, so your loved one is never waiting long for support. Caregivers are also alerted when certain doors open after hours, adding another layer of security.
My loved one tends to wander. How is that addressed?
Our memory care community uses smart safety monitoring to help our team understand movement patterns and respond quickly if a resident moves into an area that may put them at risk. The goal is to keep your loved one safe while preserving as much freedom of movement within our community as possible.
Will my loved one feel watched or restricted?
Our approach to safety is built around dignity first. The technology supports our team behind the scenes and does not change how your loved one experiences their day or their home. They continue to move freely within our community while our caregivers have the real-time awareness to step in when it matters.
What happens if my loved one falls?
Our fall detection technology gives caregivers an immediate alert with meaningful context the moment a fall may have occurred. That means faster response, better information, and the right care delivered quickly, which makes a real difference in outcomes.
How does this affect family communication?
Our team stays better informed throughout every shift, so when you call to check in or we reach out to you, we have a clearer, more complete picture of how your loved one is doing. It supports the conversations we have with you. It does not replace them.

Learn how we care for your loved one every hour of every day.
