Memory Care

Live Life Well in an atmosphere rich in companionship with plenty of opportunities to encourage physical, spiritual and mental well-being.
Your loved one with dementia, Alzheimer’s or other memory loss or cognitive impairments can Live Life Well at Westminster Canterbury Richmond, with joy, laughter and meaning every day. That’s because we focus on what your loved one can do—the abilities they have, not the ones they’ve lost. We make the most of the present, while surrounding them with the comforts of the past.
Since memory loss impacts everyone in the family, we’re here to be an empathetic source of emotional support and information.

Monticello is designed for those with mild memory-support needs. An assisted living staff serves nutritious meals and helps to manage medications. Otherwise, Monticello residents just sign out and navigate the campus as they please. They lead independent, active lives. The capacity is 36 residents.

The Gables provides a secure environment for those with more pronounced cognitive and physical needs, cared for by a 24-hour nursing staff. In distinct households, uniquely decorated to help residents recognize their homes, they live in private residences with large bathrooms with walk-in showers.

Monticello and The Gables offer proven programs that help people with memory challenges maintain focus, have a sense of control, and be socially engaged. These therapies include Art Therapy (drawing, painting, printmaking, working with fiber and clay), Horticultural Therapy (planting seeds and bulbs, arranging flowers, harvesting vegetables, enjoying nature), and Music Therapy which uses familiar chords and lyrics to help spark memories, and improve communication.
