Memory Care Communities

allows residents to discover more joy in each day.

Heritage Communities offers exceptional and highly personalized services for residents who need dementia care or Alzheimer’s care. Each day, our leadership and care teams actively embody our core values – compassion, trust, respect and fun – while earning the affection of our residents and family members alike.

We are dedicated to providing certified and attentive memory support care to residents with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and early-stage memory loss.

What to expect of Memory Care at Heritage Communities.

Heritage Memory Care communities are cozy, secure environments tailored to those with memory loss. We offer private and semiprivate apartment-style residences that offer direct access to comfortable common areas.

Memory Care facilities are not all alike. At Heritage Communities, we go beyond assisting with activities of daily living – bathing, dressing, grooming, dining and medication management – by customizing each resident’s needs and preferences.

Then, our care teams work one-on-one with each resident to maximize their independence and minimize frustrations that are common to persons living with dementia.

We also offer a delightful array of resident-centric activities that encourage each person’s creative, intellectual, spiritual, artistic and physical talents. 

Each community posts its monthly Events Calendar on its website – not only to keep you informed of what’s going on, but also to encourage you to let us know what might be particularly appealing to your loved one.

YOU are essential to our success.

As we welcome your loved one into our community and get to know them better each day, we encourage your input and will gladly listen and keep track of information, stories and insights you share with us. 

We know firsthand how difficult it is to care at home for a senior with memory challenges. We also know that helping them transition to living in a long-term care community can be hard – on you as well as on them. 

We’re here to help. We will listen, support, encourage and provide information. 

To support our Memory Care family members we offer:

  • Monthly support group meetings for family members
  • One-on-one meetings with an HC social worker or HC care team leader 
  • Regular communications and updates about your loved one
  • Conference calls, Zoom calls, or in-person meetings with important third-party advisors (PCPs, financial planners, attorneys, etc.)

Memory Care Services at Heritage Communities 

Heritage Memory Care communities are certified and always adhere to the guidelines of the Alzheimer’s Association®.

While our services are what you expect and require of your trusted team of caregivers, we always strive to exceed your expectations.

Portraits®, our exclusive Memory Care program, features multisensory activities based on the philosophies of Dr. Maria Montessori. 

This program is individualized to help each resident:

When we welcome your loved one to our community, our Care Team creates an individualized Memory Care Plan for them.

In this way, we strive to assist each person to experience more successful moments and fewer frustrations each day.

How we get to know, and love, each of our Memory Care residents.

Every week, our care team spends one-on-one time with our residents to review their memories, stories and photos, giving us insight into who they are. Where are they from? What was their occupation? Did they raise children? What are their hobbies or talents? What brings them joy? Who do they love? 

With a growing understanding of your loved one’s personality, talents, and abilities, we can continually meet their needs, while keeping family or key advisors apprised of changes, challenges, and successes.
