SEASONS MEMORY CARE
The Seasons Memory Care secure community has been purposefully and specially designed to aid those who have cognitive challenges caused by memory impairment, dementia and Alzheimer’s. Our safe, 14-bed community features secure entry and exit doors and 24-hour monitored emergency response system. Large windows and a welcoming porch ensure residents get plenty of natural sunlight which helps reduce anxiety among residents as they transition gradually from day to evening. Each resident’s suite is designed with a memory box outside the suite as a helpful visual cue. In addition, a creative Plunder Room provides active tactile stimulation for our residents’ long-term memory.
