Alzheimer's & Dementia care
Giving residents purpose while enhancing the quality of their lives.

Those with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia have special needs that require unique care and support. At the Village Care Center, our Alzheimer’s Care Unit is dedicated to providing the security, programs and surroundings they need, as well as the sense of stability and warmth each of them need.

The specially trained staff works to understand each resident’s physical and emotional needs, with the goal of helping them live each day to the fullest. We encourage activities of daily living and participation in activities, giving the residents a sense of belonging and purpose. Our dementia care programming is comprehensive and specially-designed to stimulate residents’ minds, bodies and spirits. You can have the assurance that your loved one is secure, being cared for as a member of our family.

The services offered on the Alzheimer’s Unit are the same cost as those provided in the Village Care Center’s other neighborhoods.
