Memory Care Suite #1

This memory care suite is our largest one (452 sf) and has a lovely view of the enclosed courtyard. Our Memory Care is beautiful with gathering areas, outside courtyard full of flowers this time of year, dining room and a large activity space. Memory Care #1 is $9,885/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. Each resident is placed in a level of care depending on their needs. It is not necessary to already live at FTJ first.

Award Winning 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.

Unique Memory Care Doors

Heidi White, Director of Life Enrichment had a special wish for a long time. She had learned about a company in the Netherlands that specialized in making decal front doors to help people with dementia to feel more at home in long-term care. “If we could apply these full door decals to the front of our Memory Care rooms, FTJ residents could recognize and find their own personal doors, and it would also increase privacy and a sense of safety,” she said. Together with Philanthropy, she shared her idea with two very receptive and generous individuals and within minutes, she had the green light to contact families of Memory Care residents with the news they could select decals that resembled the home doors of their loved ones.

“It was amazing!”, said Heidi. “In just a few months, our hallways were transformed with vibrant and beautiful front doors, reflective of where each person had lived.”

Upon seeing the results of their gift, these special donors commented, “We were very pleased and excited to fund this project. With everyone having their own unique ‘front door’ leading to their rooms, Memory Care looks even more welcoming. The residents are noticing and enjoying their personal entrances, and it’s fun for us to see the difference we can make.”
