Memory Care & Early Memory Care

Choosing memory care for a loved one is not a decision any family takes lightly. Helping people who live with Alzheimer’s or other age-related dementia requires a team of compassionate, specially trained individuals who understand the importance of maintaining and building connections. Touchmark’s memory care residences are designed and licensed to provide a secure, supportive, and enriching environment for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia illnesses. For those who benefit from a little more support but without the need for a secure environment, we also have our early memory support Pembrook neighborhood that bridges the gap between assisted living and memory care. Compassionate staff are attentive 24 hours per day to provide quality care and companionship. At every stage, your loved one deserves to live in good health with dignity and a sense of purpose.

“When I was first considering places for mom, I didn't know about this type of early care. As soon as I knew that Pembrook was an option, I stopped looking elsewhere: it was so unique and exactly what she needed; there really was no other choice. I was impressed how mom could remain independent while being nurtured in areas where she needed help.”

– Kristin Kleinjan, daughter of Touchmark on West Century resident
