Pegasus Landing of North Riverside is a memory care community in Fort Worth, Texas, specializing in care for residents with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. The community operates the Connections memory care program, which is built on neuroplasticity research and evidence-based methods developed by Dr. Sandra Petersen.
The Connections program provides personalized support through three intentional stages: emotional connection via music and reminiscence activities, physical movement to engage both sides of the brain, and cognitive activities like word games and art therapy. Staff members are trained as Connections Academy graduates who understand Alzheimer's progression and behavioral changes. The community offers 24-hour support designed to address challenging behaviors, encourage engagement with others and activities, and build confidence through meaningful routines.
Residents enjoy a range of activities including weekly Zumba classes, disco nights, carnival celebrations, rodeo events, holiday parties, bingo, dancing, cornhole, horse racing games, doll therapy, puzzles, dominoes, and bowling. Outdoor walking paths allow residents to engage with nature. Brain-healthy nutrition is served three times daily using fresh ingredients, emphasizing nourishment and the comfort of familiar routines alongside socialization opportunities.
The community recognizes that memory loss affects entire families and provides monthly family nights and caregiver support resources. Private and shared suites can be personalized with photographs, blankets, and familiar items from home. The program serves residents from Fort Worth and surrounding areas including Haslet, Westlake, Northlake, Denton, Roanoke, Euless, Hurst, Bedford, Haltom City, Southlake, and Grapevine.
