Memory Support at Horizon House
Memory challenges don’t change the fact that your loved one is still the person who taught you how to ride a bike, who built a career, who loves classical music, or working in the garden. And they don’t change a lifetime of experiences, passions, and dignity. Our Memory Support neighborhood provides evidence-based, patient-centered dementia care in a secure, supportive environment. It’s expert support from seasoned, compassionate caregivers, right here in our main tower.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Memory Support different from Assisted Living?
Memory Support provides a specialized, secure environment designed specifically for residents living with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. Staff members receive extensive training in dementia care, and programs are structured to support cognitive function while maintaining dignity and engagement. The physical environment is designed to reduce confusion and promote safe movement.
How do you personalize care for each resident?
We begin by learning your loved one’s life story, preferences, routines, and abilities. Our person-centered approach means care plans are tailored to individual needs and adjusted as those needs change. We honor familiar routines when possible and find meaningful ways to connect with each person based on their unique background.
Can family members visit anytime?
We encourage family involvement and maintain open visiting policies that support connections between residents and their loved ones. Our staff will work with your family to establish visiting routines that work best for your loved one while respecting the needs of all residents in the community.
What happens if care needs to change over time?
Our onsite nursing team monitors each resident’s health and well-being continuously. As needs evolve, we adjust care plans accordingly and communicate changes with families. Should additional services become necessary, we partner with specialists who provide onsite support.
How do you handle challenging behaviors?
Our staff members are trained in evidence-based approaches to understanding and responding to behaviors that may arise from dementia. We focus on identifying underlying needs, adjusting the environment or routine when helpful, and responding with patience and compassion rather than medication whenever possible.
