A different kind of MEMORY CARE

The Providence takes a warm and nurturing holistic approach with our groundbreaking Memory Care program. A priority for us is to inspire confidence in residents and their families, secure in the knowledge their loved one is in a vibrant, safe community, receiving expert, custom care. Expertly trained caregivers and nurses are available 24/7, and always provide care with empathy.

Our Memory Care associates, called “Nayas,” which means “guide” or “person of wisdom” in ancient Sanskrit, provide custom care with an innate understanding of what will help Memory Care residents thrive, helping to foster a sense of well-being among residents.

Memory Care residents enjoy a private courtyard, along with inviting dining and amenities areas. The Gourmet Bites dining option allows residents to enjoy the pleasures of fine dining. The Pantry Program gives Memory Care residents a personal pantry that is stocked with favorite foods and snacks–along with photographs and mementos–they can access any time

Memory Care residences

The 30 contemporary Memory Care residences, on the secure second floor, are designed with the comfort and safety of Memory Care residents in mind. Spacious common areas include a living room, an open kitchen with family-style dining, a tastefully landscaped veranda for indoor/outdoor living, and expansive shared spaces. All are designed to create a feeling of belonging and being part of a community, while maintaining privacy and security. Technology to enhance residents’ well-being—sleep, nutrition, exercise—will be integrated into the program.
