Memory Care

Worldwide, approximately 50 million people have one of the 500 forms of dementia, 8% being over the age of 60. One in nine elderly people over the age of 65 are living with Alzheimer’s. Our Memory Care community at Golden Horizons has developed a specialized program with the individualized needs of our residents in mind. This program and living environment fits the needs of residents who may be dealing with memory loss or physical limitations where higher staff to resident ratio is an added benefit. We recognize each resident’s awareness and habits, and have designed a senior community that is much like home to meet any medical, physical and social challenges that may be. Our staff detects changes in resident needs and has been trained to modify their care accordingly. With the residents individual needs in mind, our health care services are tailored to fit perfectly, allowing our residents to maintain the highest level of personal well being.

We provide additional and comprehensive training to ensure the highest level of care and proper interactions with residents in our Memory Care. We always have our residents best interest in mind to ensure their independence, peace of mind and provide specialty services to live out their best lives.
