Memory Care Services

What Is Memory Care?
In a memory care community such as the ones we offer in Utah and Arizona, the atmosphere is designed with the residents’ peace of mind as a high priority. The staff provide meals and assist with personal care like in an assisted living facility, but they also have special training to deal with the unique issues associated with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
Residents in memory care receive specialized care, including more frequent check-ins, and are given extra structure and support throughout the day. The staff ensures that residents are getting to their meals and attending activities. The facilities are equipped with alarmed doors, enclosed outdoor spaces, and elevator codes to keep residents from wandering and getting lost.
