What Can I Expect Moving My Loved One to Memory Care?

Therapies and activities are based on residents’ unique life experiences combined with therapeutic activities and exercises that preserve sensory skills, mobility, and motor function.

At Legend Memory Care, residents enjoy an atmosphere designed with all the familiar warmth and comfort of home.

Hear a Story, Share a Lifetime

Each resident in our memory care residences has a book containing their life story, capturing significant events, personal interests, and fond memories. Associates and residents periodically revisit their life story, deepening their shared connections.

How Memory Care is Different from Other Living Options

Memory care living is designed especially for adults living with Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia. We have created the residence and our programming to meet the challenges that can come with cognitive decline. Associates work hard to create an environment that feels comfortable and secure, tailoring interventions to preferences and adjusting as conditions evolve.

Is Memory Care a Good Fit?

• Is there a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia?
• Is there a history of confusion, including wandering?
• Are you worried about safety?
