When residents are strong, with good balance and coordination, they’re able to perform many of the basic tasks required in their daily lives.

Memory Care Services
The early stages of Alzheimer’s and various forms of dementia can be disorienting. Our memory care unit offers a home-like setting for a small number of residents. The memory care unit offers all the comforts of home with common living areas, kitchen, and bathroom facilities. Residents dine family-style, offering opportunities for socialization and storytelling.
A Calm, Quiet Environment
The memory care unit is a secure unit. Only staff and the residents’ families and friends visit this area to reduce distractions and discourage over-stimulation that can be disconcerting to Alzheimer’s and dementia residents. The unit is quiet, with no overhead paging or excess noise, to promote a feeling of comfort and serenity.
Most memory care residents have private rooms and all are encouraged to participate in daily activities. The activities are designed to retain current skills and preserve memory including:
- Looking through Picture Books of Loved Ones
- Painting
- Cooking
- Reading
If you have a loved one suffering from memory loss or the early stages of Alzheimer’s or dementia, we encourage you to contact us to check availability for placement in our memory care unit.
