Memory Care at Five Star Senior Living
Where every moment matters—because every person does.
Care that supports the whole family.
When someone you love is experiencing memory loss, it touches every part of your world. You’re not just looking for care—you’re looking for comfort, connection, and peace of mind. You want to know they’re safe. You want to know they’re seen. And above all, you want them to still feel like themselves.
At Five Star Senior Living, memory care means more than meeting needs—it means preserving personal identity with dignity. Our approach centers on your loved one’s story, preferences, and passions, creating a lifestyle that’s personalized, engaging, and grounded in dignity.
Because when your loved one is well cared for, you can breathe a little easier too.
What is memory care?
Memory care is a specialized form of residential senior living designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. These communities provide a secure, thoughtfully structured environment with 24/7 support from caregivers specially trained in memory loss.
At Five Star, we believe memory care should be deeply personal. That’s why our communities are more than just safe—they’re designed to feel like home. Places where each resident is recognized not only by name, but by heart.
Our personalized approach rooted in compassion.
No two people experience memory loss the same way, so we don’t offer one-size-fits-all care. Every resident receives a custom care plan based on their life story—what they’ve done, what they love, and what brings them comfort. This forms the foundation of a daily routine designed to support their highest level of independence, emotional well-being, and physical health.
In our memory care communities, you’ll find:
- Secure, warm environments designed for calm, comfort, and 24/7 safety
- Familiar, meaningful routines that reduce anxiety and foster confidence
- Nutritious, family-style dining that encourages connection and independence
- Engaging activities that reflect each resident’s interests and strengths
- Compassionate caregivers with specialized dementia training and heartfelt dedication
Whole-person wellness, every day—through a meaningful routine.
At Five Star, memory care is about more than safety and support—it’s about helping your loved one feel engaged, valued, and connected.
Our EPIC Well-being Framework guides everything we do, focusing on four key areas: Emotional, Physical, Intellectual, and Community. Through daily activities, warm relationships, and familiar routines, we create a rhythm of comfort and purpose—empowering residents to feel like themselves again.
Because when care is thoughtful and intentional, even the smallest moments can spark joy.
The principles that guide our memory care.
At Five Star, memory care is never one-size-fits-all. It’s deeply personal. Our programming is built around the belief that connection creates confidence—and that small, meaningful moments add up to a life well lived.
We focus on the individual, fostering engagement, dignity, and a sense of purpose. Every interaction is an opportunity to uplift, support, and celebrate who your loved one is—right now.
Here’s how we bring that philosophy to life:
- Relate. We start by understanding each resident’s life story—what shaped them, what matters to them, and what still brings them joy. Every activity, conversation, and environment is connected to their personal experiences and strengths.
- Motivate. We inspire participation by tailoring each day to what feels familiar and fulfilling—whether it’s helping set the table, joining a music group, or enjoying a favorite game. Activities are designed not just to pass time, but to spark interest and success.
- Appreciate. We celebrate the small victories. We thank residents for showing up, participating, and just being themselves. Because acknowledgment builds self-esteem—and that sense of being valued never fades, even when memory does.
This is how we help residents function at their highest possible level—with care that meets them where they are, and reminds them every day that they still matter.
Support for today. Peace of mind for tomorrow.
Memory loss may alter how someone remembers, but it doesn’t erase who they are. At Five Star Senior Living, our memory care communities are designed to preserve identity, nurture joy, and celebrate the person your loved one is—not just who they used to be.
And it’s how, in communities across the country, something extraordinary happens: Artists find their brushstrokes again. Teachers share wisdom once more. Gardeners return to the soil. Engineers tinker.
Is it time for memory care?
Forgetfulness is a normal part of aging—but when memory loss begins to disrupt daily life, it may be time for more specialized care. Here are a few signs to look for:
- Getting lost in familiar places
- Struggling with managing finances
- Repeating questions or forgetting recent conversations
- Changes in mood, hygiene, or decision-making

Considering the right level of care.
How does memory care compare to other senior living options?
As dementia progresses, support needs often go beyond occasional reminders. What begins as forgetfulness can evolve into challenges with eating, walking, and managing daily tasks. That’s why memory care communities provide more specialized care and a higher level of service than independent or assisted living—ensuring your loved one receives the attention, structure, and expertise they need at every stage.
There’s value in specialized memory care.
