Memory Care

Our Montessori-based philosophy for care means we foster development of a true community for residents with dementia and their families. Your loved one’s abilities, interests, and preferences will be encouraged, nurtured, and maximized.

Life In Memory Care Can Be Meaningful And Enriching

We know residents in our Memory Care neighborhood can still engage in and enjoy life to its fullest, we see it happen every day. Trained and dedicated team members customize your loved one’s experience to ensure they are doing what’s comfortable and familiar.

From simple homemaking tasks to virtual reality trips, cognitive impairment doesn’t mean the adventure has to stop.

What's Included in Memory Care

  • 24-hour emergency response system
  • 24-hour staffing

Our community care team uses an assessment called the St. Louis University Mental Status Exam (SLUMS), an 11-question screening questionnaire used to help understand neurocognitive impairment. Mild dementia can be a natural effect of aging, whereas more severe dementia might mean that Memory Care is a better option. Our number one goal is for you or your loved one to receive the appropriate care needed in an environment that still provides the chance to thrive.
