This seamless transition within the same warm, connected environment means no stressful moves, no need to reestablish community, and no compromise in lifestyle or dignity. It’s a future-focused solution that honors your independence while providing reassurance to you and your loved ones. At Moldaw, we support every chapter of aging with compassion, sophistication, and clinical excellence.

Experience dignified, person-centered support in a secure and nurturing setting. Our memory care in Palo Alto provides comfort, connection, and peace of mind—for both residents and their families.
At Moldaw Residences, we understand the complexities of memory loss and the importance of creating a safe, enriching environment for those living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Our dedicated memory care neighborhood is designed to support each resident’s cognitive, emotional, and physical well-being through tailored care and meaningful daily engagement.
At Moldaw, we ensure residents remain part of a vibrant, connected community. Thoughtfully appointed private apartments, secure indoor and outdoor spaces, and consistent routines help create a comforting sense of familiarity and structure.
As part of the LCS family of communities, Moldaw proudly follows the Heartfelt Connections® Memory Care program – a nationally recognized, person-centered approach grounded in the belief that the abilities that remain are far more important than those that are lost. Through customized care plans, structured routines, and a deep respect for everyone’s life story, the Heartfelt Connections program helps residents maintain purpose, preserve dignity, and engage meaningfully each day.
We take a person-first approach, celebrating each resident’s story, preferences, and abilities. Trained professionals provide 24/7 support while fostering independence and connection through therapeutic activities, music, art, and social interaction. Our location on the Taube Koret Campus for Jewish Life, with direct access to the Oshman Family JCC, offers opportunities for spiritual enrichment and cultural continuity, including access to Jewish holiday programming and traditions.
Rehabilitation
Rebuild strength, restore confidence, and regain independence with personalized therapy services, delivered right here at Moldaw Residences in Palo Alto.
At Moldaw Residences, wellness doesn’t stop at amenities, it’s woven into everyday life. Our on-site occupational, speech and physical therapy services help residents maintain or regain their independence through customized treatment plans designed around individual goals, abilities, and lifestyles.
Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or simply want to stay strong and mobile, our licensed therapists work one-on-one with you to build strength, improve balance, and support safe movement. Therapies are provided in a convenient, supportive setting with no need to leave the comfort of the community.
Because Moldaw is part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community, these services are fully integrated into our broader wellness and healthcare model. Residents in independent living, assisted living, or memory care can all access rehabilitation support as their needs evolve.
