Our memory care program is designed to provide specialized care for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Our trained staff focuses on socialization, stimulation, and self-awareness to help residents live a fulfilling life. From the senior living community design to our daily programs, we provide a supportive and engaging environment where quality of life increases.
Alzheimer’s disease and dementia are two conditions that can cause memory loss, confusion, and difficulty with daily activities. We work hard to break the stigma of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia by celebrating the abilities our memory care residents do have and assisting them in the areas where they need more help.
Memory care is a specialized type of care in senior living communities that provides personalized support for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Memory care communities cater to the unique needs of those with cognitive impairments, and their environment is designed to stimulate the mind and focus on the abilities the individual retains. Doing so helps memory care residents build a deeper sense of pride and independence.
The goal of all care and services we provide is to assist residents to maintain their dignity and independence. Our memory care living spaces include plenty of areas to gather in small or large groups, ample natural light, and an easily accessible outdoor space. These features are essential for individuals with dementia, as they provide a sense of familiarity and comfort that can help ease anxiety and agitation.
Residents with changing cognitive abilities at ESL enjoy a supportive environment that encourages them to engage in their community, from daily activities to building relationships. Our memory care neighborhood prioritizes individual needs, fostering a sense of belonging and usefulness. We acknowledge the uniqueness of each person with dementia, tailoring experiences to provide meaningful engagement.
We understand the challenges that come with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, and we work tirelessly to ensure that our residents feel safe, comfortable, and supported. Our team undergoes specialized training for dementia and other conditions that seniors may experience to ensure that they have the skills and knowledge needed to provide exceptional care.
Our specialized staff and programs provide a fully supportive environment that allows those experiencing cognitive changes to live their best lives. When you know your loved one is safe, secure, and well-taken care of by professionals who go to great lengths for their personal engagement and comfort, you can let go of some of the stress.
Our memory care residents receive a resident experience ambassador who focuses on enhancing well-being by creating experiences designed around residents’ values and vision for their lives. These services are essential for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, as they help to promote independence and improve their quality of life.

Yes! Experience Senior Living is extremely pet-friendly within all our levels of care. According to a recent study by the American Academy of Neurology, having a pet is linked to decreased stress and lower blood pressure, which contributes to a sharper memory. Having a pet is also linked to a higher level of physical activity. Even if you don’t have a pet of your own, plenty of our communities have animal therapy for residents.
When looking at different senior living communities, you will want to understand what levels of care the community provides. Also, what level of training the staff receives is important to know before moving into a memory care community. Other questions to ask about are the types of rooms available, the level of personal assistance residence can expect, food and allergy accommodation, if the senior living community is pet friendly, and more.
Memory care communities tend to have a smaller neighborhood with higher care partner to resident ratio in a secured environment. Some memory care residents may need more help with daily life when compared to a resident in assisted living. Although memory care communities tend to those with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, we believe that residents should experience the same high standards no matter where their apartment is located in the building. We focus on providing high quality resident experiences in dining, social opportunities, and care.
At Experience Senior Living, our communities have more to offer. For more information please reach out – our team would love to hear from you.
