Special Care for Alzheimer's Disease and other memory-related illnesses

This unique and innovative full-service program offers a progression of care from assisted living apartments to 24-hour nursing care for persons diagnosed with Alzheimer's or other memory-related disorders.

A large living room offers a relaxing and stimulating area for residents and their families to enjoy. Craft rooms contain plenty of space and supplies for residents to enjoy hobbies, gardening or other lifelong interests. Respite Care or short-term stays for individuals with Alzheimer's or other memory-related illnesses are available to provide relief and assurance to caregivers while they must be away for vacations or for other reasons.
