About Heartwood House

The Heartwood House is our premier memory care facility here at the Northcrest Community. Within the walls of the Heartwood House, we help people with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia continue to experience life's pleasures, no matter what challenges they face.

Whether it's the joy of touching a homemade quilt, the comfort of a simple pattern, or the scent of fresh-baked cookies, Heartwood House ensures that while some memories are lost, all of life’s pleasures are not.

We have specifically designed the Heartwood House to support independence and emphasize individual dignity and personal choice. We do this because we know that living environments influence our quality of life and health. Heartwood House provides a tranquil setting both indoors and outdoors, so residents can complete the activities of daily living that they are used to.

Heartwood House provides the perfect place to get the quality level of care loved ones need, free of frustrating hazards and distractions.

The interior is specially designed for Alzheimer's and people living with dementia, from the "way-finding" and sound systems to the colors, artwork, flooring, and lighting. Outside, there is a spacious garden with a gazebo, porch, water fountain, and bird feeders.

Heartwood House is designed to comfort and support the body, mind, and spirit in a physically and emotionally safe place. Our skilled nurses ensure the health and safety of our residents 24/7 so that residents and their loved ones can truly experience more joy in living while receiving the best memory care services available.
