Purpose, Connection, and Compassionate Care

A Montessori-Based Approach To Memory Care

Rather than focusing on limitations, Montessori-based memory care emphasizes remaining abilities, familiar routines, choice and purposeful activity.

Residents are encouraged to participate in experiences appropriate to their individual abilities: from helping set a table or caring for plants to music, art, movement and familiar household activities.

Small moments of accomplishment can create confidence, connection and a renewed sense of purpose.

Familiar Routines. Meaningful Days.

Predictability and familiarity can provide tremendous comfort for someone experiencing memory loss.

Our team creates daily rhythms that balance routine with opportunities for engagement, movement, social interaction and rest.

Designed for Comfort, Safety and Independence

The environment itself plays an important role in memory care.

Francois Bend's Memory Care neighborhood is designed to provide residents with a secure, comfortable setting where they can move through their day with greater confidence.

Thoughtful spaces, familiar cues and accessible common areas help encourage independence while providing families with reassurance that support is always nearby.
