Memory Care by the Numbers

More than 6 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer’s disease, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. By 2050, that number is projected to reach nearly 13 million. For families navigating a dementia diagnosis, finding the right care environment is one of the most important decisions they will make.

Ambria’s memory care program serves a maximum of 16 residents across our dual-building campus, with a 1:8 caregiver-to-resident ratio during the day and 24/7 awake care partners. Research from the National Institute on Aging shows that smaller, more personalized care settings are associated with reduced agitation, fewer behavioral symptoms, and greater quality of life for individuals with dementia.

Frequently Asked Questions About Memory Care

What is memory care, and how is it different from assisted living?

Memory care is a specialized form of residential care designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or other cognitive conditions. While assisted living supports residents who need help with daily activities but remain cognitively independent, memory care provides additional structure, security, and programming tailored to the unique needs of residents with memory loss. At Ambria, both programs share the same campus, allowing seamless transitions as needs change.

How do I know when my loved one needs memory care instead of assisted living?

Signs that memory care may be appropriate include increased confusion or disorientation, wandering or getting lost in familiar places, difficulty completing tasks they once managed easily, forgetting to take medications, and safety concerns at home. If your loved one’s cognitive changes are affecting their ability to live safely, even with daily assistance, memory care provides the structured support they need.

What specialized training do Ambria’s memory care partners receive?

Every care partner on our memory care team completes hands-on training in person-centered dementia care, including communication techniques for residents at different stages of cognitive decline, redirection strategies, managing sundowning behaviors, and creating calm, supportive environments. This training is ongoing, not a one-time certification.

Is the memory care area secured?

Yes. Our memory care building features secured entries and exits to prevent wandering, which is a common and serious safety concern for individuals with dementia. Residents have full access to secure outdoor courtyards and common areas within the building, allowing them to move freely in a safe environment.

Can my loved one transition from assisted living to memory care at Ambria?

Yes, and this is one of Ambria’s greatest strengths. Our dual-building campus allows residents to move from assisted living to memory care without leaving the community they already know. The same leadership team, the same familiar campus, and many of the same care partners continue to be part of their daily life. This continuity reduces the stress and disorientation that often comes with moving to a new facility.
