Memory care offers specialized support for individuals with memory impairments, such as Alzheimer’s and dementia, in a secure environment. It combines safety measures, personalized care, cognitive-enhancing activities, and trained staff to improve residents’ quality of life and maintain well-being.

At Atria Larson Place, we provide both assisted living and memory care services, which can help ease the transition as the needs of residents evolve.
