Dementia is difficult – not defining

A dementia diagnosis comes with challenges, but it doesn’t have to define your family member. Living among peers gives those experiencing cognitive decline the freedom to live a fuller life – while you live with the peace of mind that they are safe and supported, 24/7.

Designed for well-being

Every aspect of the memory care community supports people living with dementia. Examples include:

Secure common spaces that allow free and safe movement.
Natural light, which promotes a healthy circadian rhythm.
An intimate dining room that encourages connection.
Personal mementos to help residents locate their apartment.

Studies show that this holistic design approach improves mood, reduces agitation and mitigates the need for medications. View a sample community layout.

Dedicated care teams

The Life Guidance neighborhood is supported by an in-house team of experts who receive extensive training – including training protocols that often exceed state requirements.

Programs that enhance abilities

Our Engage Life^® events program gently guides residents through an optimal rhythm each day with ability-appropriate activities that support physical and cognitive wellness. View a sample calendar.

Frequently Asked Questions

Memory care is a specialized form of residential care tailored to meet the needs of individuals with memory loss and neurocognitive diseases, including 24-hour supervision and assistance with activities of daily living.

We provide 24-hour care in a secure setting that allows residents to live a full life.

The primary differences between supportive living and memory care communities are the level of care and security of the environment. Supportive living, while also providing personal care and support, caters to a broader range of seniors who require less intensive support. Memory care neighborhoods often have enhanced security features to prevent wandering, a common behavior for those experiencing cognitive decline. Memory care neighborhoods also offer a variety of programs dedicated to the needs of those experiencing cognitive decline.

Many Atria communities offer both supportive living and memory care, which can help ease the transition when a resident requires additional support.

We give residents opportunities to engage in the types of activities they enjoy. We typically offer the same programs that are offered in independent and supportive living, and adapt those to be more accessible to those experiencing cognitive decline.

Also, because we also manage symptoms of dementia through multi-sensory programs and are mindful of memory loss, we offer more frequent and a broader range of programs than we do in supportive living settings.

While independent living and supportive living are typically not covered under this government program, Medicare may pay for some covered care services that can be helpful. Because Medicare is a federal program, you can find more information about your coverage options at Medicare.gov.
