Memory Lane Assisted Living is a memory care and assisted living community located in Ypsilanti, Michigan, operating as a licensed Adult Foster Care (AFC) home. The community specializes in personalized memory care for older adults with dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, Lewy Body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and vascular dementia.
The community operates as small, six-bedroom private residences rather than large institutional facilities. Each home maintains a 1:3 daytime staff-to-resident ratio, ensuring personalized attention and safety. Memory Lane is owned by a physician specializing in geriatrics, and a licensed nurse serves as Executive Director, leading the care team and maintaining high standards. The homes are designed to feel like actual residences, located in peaceful residential neighborhoods between Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, close to family and U-M Health.
Memory Lane offers round-the-clock hands-on memory care with a dedicated focus on supporting residents with memory loss and cognitive impairments. The community explicitly accepts residents with various dementia diagnoses, including those with challenging behaviors, and will not turn residents away based on diagnosis. Caregivers are trained to celebrate residents' remaining abilities and support their quality of life through engagement and personalized attention.
The community schedules a variety of activities and family get-togethers tailored to residents' interests, abilities, and well-being. These activities and social opportunities are designed to keep residents engaged while supporting their emotional and social needs within the familiar, home-like environment.
