The memory care program is structured around a person-centered, wellness-based model for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of memory loss. It focuses on maintaining a secure environment where residents have a sense of belonging and meaning, incorporating a Meaningful Day activity program built on four domains of wellness and stimulating daily activities to sustain independence.

Long-term care is available for those who require assistance with daily tasks and can no longer remain at home. Licensed nurses, specially-trained health care aides, and an interdisciplinary care team provide care under physician guidance, including social services, activities, and physical, occupational, and speech therapies. The facility accepts private pay and Medicaid for qualified applicants.

Respite care services allow family caregivers to take breaks from their responsibilities on a short-term basis, with the option to extend care if needed. Hospice and palliative care services, provided in partnership with local hospice companies, include skilled nursing care, pain management, spiritual and bereavement counseling, medical equipment and supplies, and social services. Outpatient therapy services are available using clinically-proven strategies and the latest technologies, coordinated with physicians and designed to increase mobility and reduce pain.
