- Highly trained staff offer personalized care using the latest evidence-based techniques
- Physical activities, cognitive programs and staff-guided outings improve mood and stimulate cognition
- Abundant natural light helps regulate circadian rhythms, promoting restful sleep and reducing evening agitation

Memory care is a specialized form of long-term care designed to meet the unique needs of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia or other memory impairments. The primary goal of Atria Crossroads Place’s memory care neighborhood is to provide a safe, structured environment that minimizes stress and confusion for residents. We provide 24-hour supervised care in a setting that allows residents to maintain a fulfilling life.
Assisted living and memory care differ mainly in the level of care and security they offer. Assisted living providers support residents with mild cognitive impairments in daily activities, while memory care neighborhoods are designed to ensure safety and cater to the unique needs of those with more advanced stages of dementia.
Many senior living communities will offer both levels of care, which can help ease the transition when a resident requires memory care.
The cost of memory care varies based on factors like amenities, apartment type and location. For instance, the average cost of memory care in Connecticut is $7,500 per month, but families can expect to pay $6,300 on average in Waterford.
