Memory Care
Caring for the whole you.
Our Memory Care neighborhood, The Villa, is an encouraging environment that focuses on infusing joy into your daily moments. Our dedicated associates and specially trained universal caregivers help you thrive within our tight-knit community. Each day, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to explore, grow, and enjoy our enrichment experiences. Memory Care allows you to set the tone for each day, so you can choose to follow new or old passions, as well as find time to relax in the garden with a book or a good friend.
Life in The Villa will feel comfortable, familiar, and like home. Expect daily life to include wonderful aromas from delicious meals, music, laughter, family members, fresh flowers, natural light, children, pets, and plenty of fun to look forward to. Your days will be filled with favorite pastimes and creative offerings, as well as plenty of space and time for relaxed moments.
Here, the art of caregiving goes beyond the traditional, so we call our caregivers Nayas, a word originating from the ancient language of Sanskrit. A Naya is a guide, a person of wisdom, and a leader who is engaged in the present moment. Specially trained Nayas communicate through validation, rather than correction, to show understanding and support. This thoughtful foundation cultivates a sense of well-being and connection that will help you to feel seen and heard.

With love from Mary, George’s wife and forever best friend.
“I had never been to a bar in my life.” That's where Mary met George 53 years ago, which led to dinner at 2:00 a.m. at a Chinese restaurant — completely forgetting she was supposed to be somewhere 10 hours prior. She met her best friend and the love of her life.
