Personalized Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care
Our memory care program was developed and continues to evolve based on the latest research in dementia care, improving clinical outcomes, and shared learnings across our national network of senior living and memory care communities. We understand that techniques that work for one resident may not work for another. Instead, our care partners are trained to provide person-centered care, which means we focus on understanding our residents’ histories, routines and preferences. But it's more than just a care approach. Our residents also benefit from our specialized environment and kind staff to support them at all stages of the disease.
We look forward to seeing you!

Clare Bridge is our exclusive brand of dementia care created more than 30 years ago, consisting of a gentle structure of six planned programs per day that help support your love one's current abilities and help preserve their remaining skills.
Crossings is designed for seniors in the early stages of dementia, and a stepping stone between assisted living and memory care. Your loved one can enjoy activities like art and dance classes, museum excursions, journaling to explore life stories, and sharing stories around the dinner table with new friends.
Solace is skillfully crafted to meet the special needs of advanced dementia; adding an extra layer to the Clare Bridge programming including extra time for grooming, activities involving the senses, music and aromatherapy.
Assisted living communities are designed for seniors who are relatively independent, but they need some assistance with daily tasks, like bathing, dressing and managing medication. Assisted living is ideal for those who are looking to make the most of their retirement by living closer to other people in the same stage of life, while getting access to quality care, great onsite amenities, and interesting activities happening at the community.
Memory care communities are specifically designed for seniors living with Alzheimer's or dementia. They feature safe and secure environments where staff can closely monitor the health of the residents. You'll also find programs, activities, and events that are designed to help memory care residents work on their cognitive abilities, while also getting to enjoy passions and hobbies. Staff typically are specially trained to provide the quality care needed for seniors with memory loss.
Memory care features can vary from location to location. Sometimes they are stand-alone communities, and sometimes they are part of a larger community with more levels of care. They often include safety features like emergency alert systems, enclosed courtyards and keypad entry; personalized programming; easy-to-navigate features like color-coded hallways and spacious hallways; and accommodations for seniors in both the early and late stages of dementia.
As much as we wish there was a cure for Alzheimer’s, the best thing a memory care community can do is provide opportunities for your loved one to maintain or experience improvement in their current skills. Research has shown that living in a community can reduce the amount of medication a resident needs, increase their overall health and wellness with proper nutrition and exercise, and provide increased social interaction that leads to lower levels of depression and isolation.
The cost of memory care depends on several different factors, including location, floor plan and how much care your loved one needs. The good news is that our residents only pay for the services they actually need.
This is one of those tricky questions that only you can answer. It’s important to do your research before coming to a final decision. But we can tell you that as the disease progresses, the amount of time, energy and resources required to provide quality care will increase. This often creates more stress for the caregiver and could compromise the otherwise high quality of life your loved one could enjoy in a memory care community.
Our communities incorporate several features to help keep your loved one safe, like including emergency alert systems in each apartment. The majority of our communities also have enclosed outdoor courtyards so residents can explore in a secure environment.
A companion suite can offer your loved one something special: friendship. Sharing space often brings comfort, joyful routines and a true sense of purpose. It’s a meaningful way to connect—and can be a budget-friendly option too.
Memory care communities often share helpful resources, while you know your loved one most. Think about your loved one’s daily routines, favorite activities and care needs. Make a list of what’s important—and use it to guide your search with confidence. For more information, visit our Find the Right Memory Care Community page.
