Memory Care
Garden House is our memory care specific community created around the unique needs of people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Residents enjoy an inviting environment with a team who are always warm and happy to help.
You’ll find only intimate, comfortable rooms in our Garden House. Our grounds are beautifully landscaped, with secured outdoor courtyards and a specially trained team on site 24/7.
Everyone has a story to tell, and we love hearing them all. Our team focuses on honoring each resident from day one. Through our Memory Care program we seek to know the meaningful details of your loved one’s life—where they’ve been, what they’ve done—and what activities might be especially fun or meaningful to them. Those are the kind of details that make a difference. Families are encouraged to participate in daily activities. We strive for a family feel and positive social engagement for all of our residents.
In an effort to make the search for the right care a little easier, we created this infographic to help anyone who is looking for a memory care community.
