Memory care,
on the other hand, is specialized care for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or other cognitive impairments. Our Montessori-inspired Portraits® memory care program, uses multi-sensory activities customized to each resident’s history and interests to stimulate and engage their minds while providing purposefulness within their community.
