What is Memory Care?

Memory care is a specialized form of support for individuals living with cognitive changes such as Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

At Franklin Park® Alamo Heights, memory care means a thoughtfully designed environment, a specially trained team, and a daily rhythm built around familiarity, routine, and meaningful engagement. The Refreshing Waters® program focuses on recognizing the person first, supporting remaining abilities, and creating a calm, respectful setting where individuals feel safe, known, and supported.

For families navigating this decision, our team is available to listen, answer questions, and offer guidance with care and understanding.
