The Meadows Memory Care residences at The Orchards at Canterbury-on-the-Lake provide the safety, security, people, and programs to help preserve all the things that bring meaning and order to your loved one’s life. Each day our mission is to provide the highest quality Alzheimer’s and dementia care that will enrich the lives of our residents by encouraging and celebrating their interests and abilities.
What is Memory Care?
Memory care is a specialized type of long-term senior care for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of progressive-degenerative dementia. Like assisted living, memory care assists with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and grooming, but also offers a specific type of compassionate care that is specially designed for those suffering from memory impairment.
Benefits of Memory Care
At The Meadows, we understand how difficult it can be to remove your loved one from everything they are familiar with and place them into a brand new environment. This transition can take an emotional toll not only on the resident but on the entire family as well.
Memory care offers multiple benefits for both the resident and their family, so you can be confident that your loved one is receiving the highest level of care here in our community.

Learn More About Our Memory Care Program
