Embracing a trusting, understanding relationship with individuals receiving memory care means treating all residents with dignity and respect. Our personalized care plans are tailored to your loved one’s interests, whether it’s their love for cleaning or passion for painting.

We understand that moving a loved one into memory care is a big change, and we work hard to make the transition as smooth as possible, ensuring they feel welcome and loved from day one.

Personalized Memory Care Services
Portraits®
The Heritage at Sagewood thrives on creating opportunities for individuals to express their passions and engage with their community in a way that is meaningful to them. Our Montessori-based memory care program, Portraits®, personalizes the daily routine of your loved one to their most significant interests, giving them a sense of purpose in our community. For example, your loved one could be revisiting their days as a homemaker by helping dust the common area or help with shredding papers as a nod to their career working in an office.
Instead of trying to teach our residents new skills, we enhance their strengths and abilities in a way that helps them feel like they truly belong in our community. At all stages of your loved one’s disease process, Portraits® gives residents the ability to enhance their quality of life. See this video to learn firsthand how Portraits® helps us offer unparalleled memory care.
