Cozy Cottage Model
Because not every dementia journey looks the same, our community was thoughtfully designed with four different “cottages,” each catering to different levels of functionality. Every cottage also features an open kitchen and living room area, designed to feel just like home.
Functional Design Features
Everything in our memory care community -- from the paint color on the walls to the art work around each corner -- was designed with the resident’s specific needs in mind. Each “cottage” features a different theme and wall color, making it easier for residents to identify their home.
Secure Indoor and Outdoor Spaces
Our Reflections Memory Care unit is located in a secure wing of our community so that residents who may be considered “wander risks” remain safely inside the community. We even have a secure outdoor courtyard for residents to enjoy fresh air without the risk of wandering away from the building.

When Should I Consider Memory Care for My Loved One?
Is your loved one struggling with Dementia or Alzheimer’s?
Among the most common and debilitating health issues that affect seniors are memory-related conditions such as Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of dementia.
Dementia is defined as any cognitive condition that significantly impairs any of the following core mental functions:
- Memory
- Communication and language
- Ability to focus and pay attention
- Reasoning and judgment
- Visual perception
With one or more of these functions significantly impaired, it can be extremely difficult for senior individuals to live on their own. Doing so can speed the onset of the degenerative disease in question, increase the risk of injury and accident, and place undue strain on family members and friends. At a certain point, extra care is essential.
Memory care is a special type of assisted living designed to give seniors with degenerative cognitive conditions a secure place to live and receive specialized care.
At memory care facilities, seniors with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia live in specially designed rooms with close supervision and assistance from trained medical professionals. The staff at these communities help seniors with day-to-day tasks, administer medical care, and provide essential socialization. The best memory care communities offer structured activities and outings to help seniors socialize and stay stimulated, which studies have shown can greatly help mitigate symptoms of degenerative cognitive diseases and can even slow their onset.
