Why do our Residents Love Calling American Senior Communities Home?

“The staff couldn’t be more caring, professional, and attentive. They always know what’s happening with my loved one, keep me informed, and genuinely care about both residents and their families.”

Relative of Resident

“They treated our loved one with dignity, patience, and compassion every single day. They also supported our family and kept us informed, which meant more to us than they probably realize.”

Relative of resident

“Everyone is treated with respect, and the staff is always kind, patient, and attentive. Every time I visit my mom and stepmom, I see an active team that is truly dedicated to caring for each resident.”

Memory Care Assisted Living

Our Memory Care Assisted Living Apartments provide enhanced safety, specially-trained staff, support programs and activities of special benefit to those with cognitive challenges. We purposefully integrate amenities and activities with our larger community to help residents within our Memory Care neighborhoods stay connected and experience a full and rewarding lifestyle to the extent each is able.

Memory Care in Nursing Home

Memory Care in a Nursing Center offers a structured, research-based memory care program. We utilize a person-centered, wellness-based model of care that incorporates stimulating daily activities to sustain independence and promote a healthy spirit. Our skilled Memory Care professionals focus on maintaining a secure environment where residents have a sense of belonging and meaning each and every day. The center is self-contained within our communities and we surround residents with artwork and special personal items from their past to help foster a sense of belonging and cultivate feelings of security.

Memory Care Respite Stays

Respite stays are an option for those who need care on a short-term basis, allowing caregivers the ability to travel, start a new job, recuperate from an illness or pursue other interests. Many find respite stays the perfect option for recovery from surgery or hospitalization. Should a short stay require extended care, we can accommodate that, too. We carefully examine the needs of our respite guests and provide the level of care required to make their stay comfortable and enjoyable, giving family members peace of mind knowing their loved one is safe and in good hands.
