Activities
We make sure all of our memory care residents have access to unique small-group events and activities that foster purpose and self-confidence — from chair volleyball and music bingo to puzzles and painting classes. We also provide therapeutic activities designed to stimulate cognitive engagement and promote relaxation.
Dining
Our memory care residents benefit from their own private dining room where they enjoy a wide variety of nutritious meal options. Private dining rooms create a calm, predictable environment that helps residents feel secure and reduces confusion. Familiar settings — such as consistent mealtimes, soft lighting and uncluttered spaces — also foster a sense of belonging and ease anxiety.
Specialized Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care
If you have a loved one experiencing memory loss, you know that it can become more difficult to care for them as symptoms progress. Chesterwood memory care gives you peace of mind that they’ll be well taken care of and will enjoy a fulfilling life.
Our dedicated caregivers are available around the clock and are specially trained in dementia care, including how to handle behavioral changes with empathy and patience and effectively communicate with those experiencing memory decline.
Personalized Support in a Secure Environment
At Chesterwood, we always nurture and encourage your loved one’s unique abilities —with specialized support, structured routines and therapeutic activities that promote their well-being and engagement. And you can be assured that they’ll be living in a safe and secure assisted living environment, with private memory suites uniquely designed to reduce confusion and prevent wandering, as well as 24-hour security and emergency response systems.
Floor Plans and Pricing
All of our memory care residents have their own private assisted living space with a private bathroom, and they’re welcome to bring plenty of personal belongings to make their residence feel like home. Floor plans of our thoughtfully designed one-bedroom or studio apartments will be coming soon!

While both assisted living and memory care provide assistance with the activities of daily living, such as help with bathing, dressing and grooming, medication management, and personal maintenance, memory care at Chesterwood utilizes the latest research and state-of-the-art cognitive therapies for a specific type of compassionate care that is specially designed for those with memory impairment.
Memory care at our community provides a unique approach to Alzheimer’s care and dementia care. Residents live in a warm and friendly environment with the safety of 24-hour onsite staffing and the loving care of highly trained personnel who implement proven memory care support. It would be nearly impossible to duplicate this level of round-the-clock safety, sense of community and socialization, and specific expertise in memory care by using an in-home care service.
