Frequently Asked Questions

Browse our FAQs to learn more about memory care – and to see if it’s the right fit for your family.

What is memory care?
Memory care is a specialized form of residential care tailored to meet the needs of individuals with memory loss and neurocognitive diseases, including 24-hour supervision and assistance with activities of daily living. The primary goal of Atria Park of Glen Ellyn’s memory care neighborhood is to provide a safe, structured environment that minimizes stress and confusion for residents. We provide 24-hour care in a secure setting that allows residents to live a full life.
