Several years of best-practices research and consultations with families whose lives have been touched by Alzheimer’s and dementia went into creating memory care at Ashley Gardens and Mosaic, our exclusive Memory Care Program, that honors all the pieces that make up our residents’ lives and celebrates where they are on their journey.

Architecturally and operationally innovative, our Mount Vernon memory care community features four intimate neighborhoods, housed in two cottage-style communities. Each neighborhood has 10 residences and a comforting, design that’s easy to navigate for those living with memory loss.

Each neighborhood within Ashley Gardens of Mount Vernon is small enough to ensure our care teams can really get to know — and bond with — residents. The unique design allows residents to move freely about but be close enough for staff to ensure their safety and well-being.

Our wellness and life enrichment teams work together to ensure dementia care residents stay connected and engaged, while enjoying a variety of programs specially designed to enhance life for those living with memory decline.
