What To Expect With Senior Living Memory Care

At The Heritage at Sterling Ridge, our team is dedicated to caring for those with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia with knowledge, experience, understanding, and, above all, compassion. Our team takes the time to ask questions and truly get to know each resident—both who they’ve been and who they are now. We seek opportunities to help residents succeed at familiar tasks, like making their bed or baking cookies. This allows your loved one to enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done, with the reassurance that a helping hand is always nearby.

We know each person’s journey with memory loss is unique, so we create personalized wellness plans to meet each resident’s specific needs, ensuring the highest quality of care. These individualized plans are created by working closely with the resident, their family, and our care team. As their disease progresses, we continuously assess and revise these plans to ensure we’re offering those under our care the highest standard of service and attention.
