What Is Memory Care?

Memory care is a specialized lifestyle for individuals living with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

Our approach is person-centered, meaning we get to know each resident’s life story, preferences, and abilities. This allows us to create a customized care plan that supports their unique needs, promotes their remaining strengths, and provides enriching, empowering activities.

Memory Care May Be Right for Your Loved One If…

They are living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia.
Their care needs have become too much to manage safely at home.
They would benefit from a secure environment to prevent wandering.
They struggle with anxiety or stress and need a calming, structured routine.

Identifying Your Loved One’s Level of Support

During our first meeting with you and your loved one, we’ll assess the care they require. Assistance may be needed with everyday activities such as:

Meal assistance
Personal hygiene and bathing
Mobility support
Medication management
Getting dressed

Enriching Connections Program

Clinical Support for Peace of Mind

Safety and well-being are our highest priorities. Families can find comfort in knowing that our community is staffed with a dedicated team, providing multiple layers of support around the clock.

Our on-site personal care staff is on duty 24 hours a day, performing regular safety checks and always available to lend a helping hand. Clinical oversight is provided by a registered nurse who is on-site 40 hours a week and available for on-call triage 24/7, with additional nursing hours available during awake hours.

This constant, attentive presence ensures that your loved one’s health is continuously monitored, with monthly vital sign checks and meticulous maintenance of their clinical records, offering your family true peace of mind.

A Focus on Familiarity & Routine

A predictable daily rhythm helps reduce anxiety and provides comfort for residents in memory care. A typical day is gently structured to include a blend of engaging activities, delicious meals in a family-style setting, and quiet time for relaxation.

From morning wellness activities to afternoon creative arts and evening music, we create a flow that is both stimulating and soothing.
