Our memory care services are designed for seniors experiencing cognitive decline related to Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy body dementia, and other forms of dementia.

Our Naples memory care community welcomes seniors who need more specialized attention than what’s available in traditional assisted living settings.

Unlike assisted living, memory care provides 24/7 supervision and structured activities specifically designed for those with memory challenges.
