Compassionate Memory Care with Heart

We recognize the profound impact of memory loss on individuals and their families, which can significantly affect daily life. That’s why our Memory Care program, located at the Lester Senior Housing Community, is thoughtfully designed to provide safety, support, connection, dignity, comfort, and purpose for those living with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other cognitive conditions—through structured routines, engaging activities, specialized staff training, and a secure, nurturing environment tailored to individual needs.

In a warm, secure, and supportive environment, guests enjoy personalized attention, nutritious meals, engaging activities, and access to our expert staff. It’s peace of mind for caregivers, and comfort, safety, and connection for their loved ones.
