Memory care provides a higher level of care to residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. The memory care area is secure to protect your loved one from wandering into other areas and outside our community.  In addition to assisting with activities of daily living, our person-centered memory support program, Portraits®, aims to engage, stimulate, and help maintain the remaining abilities of our residents.

• Inability to remember to take medications and trouble taking them
• Less interest and attention to grooming and dressing
• Physical changes, including loss of appetite and weight loss
