Memory Care
Memory care communities are built specifically for people living with Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia. Depending on the community, they may include secured buildings, wings, courtyards, or other secured spaces where needed to keep residents who wander safe, along with staff trained in dementia communication and gentle daily routines that ease anxiety.
What is memory care?
Memory care communities are built specifically for people living with Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia. Depending on the community, they may include secured buildings, wings, courtyards, or other secured spaces where needed to keep residents who wander safe, along with staff trained in dementia communication and gentle daily routines that ease anxiety.
Some memory care communities are dedicated wings of an assisted living community, and others stand on their own. Either way, the staff are trained in dementia care and the day is built around meaningful engagement.
Who it’s a good fit for
- Has a dementia diagnosis or significant memory loss
- Wanders, gets lost, or is no longer safe at home
- Has care needs beyond what family or assisted living can manage
- Needs structure and specialized engagement, not just supervision

Good to know
Memory Care questions, answered
When is it time to move from assisted living to memory care?
When wandering, exit-seeking, sundowning, or care needs go beyond what general assisted living staff can safely handle. Communities will assess this, and we help you get ahead of it rather than face a rushed move.
Can couples stay together if only one has dementia?
Sometimes. Some communities offer companion arrangements or adjacent apartments, depending on their licensing and layout. It's worth asking each community directly, and we can help you find and contact the ones that may be a fit.
