Safety. Dignity.
A sense of home.

Memory care is designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or other forms of memory loss who need more structure, supervision, and specialized support than assisted living provides. It may be the right fit if your loved one:

• Has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or a related memory condition
• Is at risk of wandering or becoming disoriented, even in familiar surroundings
• Needs consistent supervision and cueing with daily routines like bathing, dressing, or medication
• Has experienced increased confusion, agitation, or changes in behavior
• Would benefit from a secure, predictable environment with structured daily activities
• Requires caregivers trained specifically in dementia care techniques

If you’re noticing these changes and wondering whether it’s time, our team is happy to talk through your loved one’s specific situation, no pressure, just guidance.

How is memory care staff training different from assisted living?
At Cascades, every member of our memory care team is trained and certified by the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners (NCCDP), ensuring therapies and daily care are delivered with both expertise and compassion. Our nurses and caregivers are on-site 24/7, with access to visiting physicians and our Medical Director.

What safety features does your memory care community offer?

Our memory care residences include around-the-clock monitoring, a secure garden and shaded porch for safe outdoor access, and private studios purpose-built to reduce confusion and support easy navigation. Oversized bathrooms with roll-in showers help make daily routines safer and easier.

Does my loved one get an individualized care plan?

Yes! Every resident receives a personalized care plan, created together with families, along with ongoing support from our nutrition and dietitian team.

Does Medicare or Medicaid help pay for memory care?

Medicare generally doesn’t cover memory care, since it’s considered custodial rather than medical care. Medicaid may help through Florida’s Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care (SMMC-LTC) program, depending on income, assets, and eligibility. Veterans and spouses may also qualify for the VA Aid & Attendance benefit to help with costs. Every family’s situation is different, so our team is happy to walk you through what may apply to yours.

What kinds of activities and therapies are available in memory care?

Our therapeutic programming includes personalized activities suited to each resident’s strengths and interests, music and art therapy to spark recall and ease agitation, purposeful routines like gardening or light cooking, and sensory and reminiscence programs using touch, scent, sound, and storytelling.
