Memory Care #16/17

If you’re living with a spouse or partner who has cognitive decline, you have most likely taken on the role of caregiver. We know that caring for a spouse can be stressful on your relationship as well as your physical and emotional health. Many couples are experiencing this situation, and because of this we allow couples to move in together. Memory Care #16/17 has two rooms and a private bathroom which is perfect for a couple.

We understand that dementia is stressful and expensive, and that you do not want to be separated from your loved one. By living in Memory Care together, it would allow you to spend as much time together as you want. It would also allow for the fully cognitive spouse the freedom to come and go at will knowing your loved one is getting the support and assistance they need in a 24-hour guided day.

Our 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.
