Caring for someone with memory loss can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it on your own. Memory care can support your loved one living with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease.
The Arbors & The Ivy has memory care communities in Massachusetts and Connecticut. In our unique Reflections Memory Care program, families gain peace of mind knowing their loved one is supported by a dedicated team close to home.
What is memory care?
Memory care is a specialized form of senior living for people with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or other forms of cognitive decline.
While traditional assisted living provides help for activities of daily living, memory care offers more supportive care, including:
- Structured daily routines that reduce confusion and promote comfort
- Personalized care plans tailored to each resident’s history, preferences, and abilities
- Team members trained specifically in dementia care and communication
- Environments thoughtfully designed to support memory, engagement, and independence
- Safety measures that alert staff when residents wander
At The Arbors & The Ivy, memory care goes beyond meeting needs. Our staff helps residents create moments of connection, familiarity, and joy throughout each day.
The Reflections program is built on understanding each resident as a whole person. By learning their life story, routines, and preferences, we create meaningful experiences that help them feel more at ease, engaged, and supported.
