Our memory care facilities are centered on our Meaningful Moments program, which is designed to serve the needs of those afflicted with memory loss conditions such as Alzheimer&#39;s or other dementias. We start by getting to know the resident, understanding their preferences and favorite memories and from there we build a program for them incorporating the familiar ensuring a comfortable environment.

Our electronically monitored security system is there to ensure safety. Specially trained caregivers are available 24 hours a day and seven days a week to provide guidance, support and assistance with activities of daily living.
