Memory Care Suite #27

Our Memory Care is new and beautiful! Memory Care #27 is $7,595/month (no buy in).

FTJ Memory Care specializes in seniors with Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia. Our unique approach to memory care features a small group of residents who live together in a home-like setting with secured outside courtyards, many gathering spaces, 24-hour supervision and support. It is not necessary to live at FTJ first.

New Montessori-Inspired Memory Care Programming

Starting in late 2022, Franke Tobey Jones embarked on a brand-new way of engaging with residents in our Memory Care. While Montessori is most often connected to learning for children, Montessori for dementia has been shown to be extremely effective in allowing the person with dementia to reconnect to a world they are losing access to. Through sensory experiences and hands-on programing, those who have dementia are better able to reconnect with pleasant events and memories of the past and experience the positive emotions of remembered events.
