Memory Care
Memory care provides safety and security for those with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias. Residents at a Carespring community live in a home-like setting with around-the-clock support and activity stations that enhance focus and self-esteem.
What is Memory Care?
While family members may initially care for loved ones experiencing memory loss, this can become more difficult as symptoms progress. That’s where memory care comes in.
Carespring’s Chesterwood location provides compassionate memory care for seniors with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia — providing specialized support, structured routines and therapeutic activities that promote well-being and engagement.
Comfortable memory care suites are uniquely designed to reduce confusion and prevent wandering in a secure assisted living environment. And Chesterwood’s dedicated caregivers are specifically trained in dementia care — including how to handle behavioral changes with empathy and patience, and effectively communicate with those experiencing memory decline.
Who is Memory Care Right for?
Memory care is usually considered when a loved one:
- Has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or other dementias that can worsen over time
- Is displaying unsafe behaviors such as wandering, falling frequently, or forgetting to take medications or turn off appliances
- Is experiencing personality changes that often lead to confusion, aggression, anxiety and disorientation
- Requires full-time supervision by a caregiver

Memory Care FAQs
Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living designed for individuals with Alzheimer’s, dementia or other cognitive impairments. While both offer help with daily activities, memory care provides:

At Carespring’s Chesterwood community, memory care residents benefit from personalized care plans and a compassionate, supportive setting.
Residents undergo a comprehensive assessment before move-in and are regularly re-evaluated to ensure their care plan reflects their evolving needs. Chesterwood’s memory care model includes two levels of care, allowing for flexibility in pricing and services as a resident’s condition changes.
Behavioral health needs are also closely monitored, and staff are specifically trained to respond to signs of discomfort or distress.
Costs typically include room, board and basic services such as meals, housekeeping and activities. At Chesterwood, memory care pricing is structured with a base rent and an additional level-of-care charge based on the resident’s needs.
