Memory Support

Connection Matters. Kindness Matters. Moments Matter.

The Gardens is our Memory Support neighborhood—an active, bright and happy place where our philosophy of connection, collaboration and communication truly comes to life. Our care team combines the best practices of dementia care and behavioral health to deliver uniquely effective person-centered care that meets your loved one where he or she is and honors where he or she has been.

A Rich, Meaningful Life for Your Loved One. Peace of Mind for You.

Choosing the right memory support community for a loved one can be extremely difficult and emotionally taxing. We understand, and we’re here to help. Here are just a few things families tell us that make them feel good about choosing Rockridge: 

Interdisciplinary Care

Weekly rounds from our on-site physician and nurse practitioner who work hand-in-hand with our care team and families to ensure resident’s receive the best care. Our life enrichment director also works with the care team and families to gear activities to each resident.

Enriching Programs

Our life enrichment director works closely with our care team to create engaging activities and musical programming that bring joy by reminding residents of who they were, who they are and what they love.

Constant Communication

Our care team holds a daily huddle to discuss each resident’s physical and mental health, make care plan adjustments, collaborate with our medical team and keep families updated. Any family member can contact any care team member anytime to ask questions and make requests.

Customized Care Packages

Like everything else at Rockridge, the Memory Support care your loved one receives is the result of a close collaboration between you, your loved one and our care team. We’ll work with you on an ongoing basis to customize one of the care packages below to make sure your loved one receives the care he or she needs. (Note that these packages are different than our Assisted Living care packages.)

Memory Support Care Packages

This package is good for residents actively involved in the completion of their bathing, dressing and grooming. They may need some assistance with a shower or other personal care up to 4 times a week. Otherwise, the residents can manage independently with assistive devices if needed.

This package is for those who can participate in their bathing, dressing and grooming but need some physical assistance, cueing and redirecting daily to complete personal care tasks. In addition to the daily assistance with bathing, dressing and grooming, they require escorts to meals and activities, increased assistance with apartment tidiness and laundry services.

Ultra-Assistance residents are unable to manage independently during the day and require maximum assistance with personal care tasks. Assistance with toileting may also be needed on a regularly scheduled basis to help maintain dignity. They may also need assistance for transferring from a sitting to a standing position.
