Miramont Pointe.  Experience the difference.

Memory Care

Preserving capabilities while protecting the dignity and individuality of each resident — that's the mission of The Memory Center, a special program for those with Alzheimer's disease and related memory loss.

Located in a special residential area of Miramont Pointe, The Memory Center is designed to maximize independence. Visual cues and prompts familiarize residents with their surroundings. And an enclosed wandering garden allows residents to safely move about.

The Memory Center's caring professionals are specially trained in providing a supportive, nourishing environment. They provide state-of-the-art programming which reinforces capabilities, enhances independence and recognizes individual needs. Activities address varying interests, needs and attention spans. And our staff members are in tune with residents as they follow their cues and schedules.
