Memory Care

Our specialized memory care communities provide a warm, secure environment designed to support individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and moderate memory impairment. With 24-hour supervision, personalized care, and thoughtfully designed surroundings, we help residents experience a true sense of comfort, safety, and belonging—every day.

At NHC, we believe every resident deserves to thrive in body, mind, and spirit. That’s why we offer The MINDful Way™—a unique approach that blends the science and art of dementia care, setting a new standard for memory care and assisted living.

What Makes The MINDful Way™ Different?

Our program is built on the VITAL 5 Pillars™, guiding our compassionate, holistic care for individuals living with dementia:

1. Validate Emotional Experience
   We prioritize acknowledging and validating your loved one’s emotions, fostering trust and connection so they always feel heard and understood.
2. Improvise and Be in the Moment
   Our caregivers are trained to adapt to ever-changing needs, creating a nurturing environment that meets residents where they are—right now.
3. Terminate the Task Trap and See the Person
   We focus on meaningful connections, seeing each resident as a whole person. This approach leads to enriching interactions that go far beyond routine care.
4. Accommodate Sensory Deficits
   We address sensory challenges, such as hearing or vision impairments, to ensure every resident is comfortable, engaged, and included.
5. Life History
   We integrate each resident’s unique life history into daily care, using personal experiences and memories to guide activities that bring joy and familiarity.
