Memory Care Activities

Our activities are designed based on cognitive memory and our memory-care specific methods are based on varying levels of cognitive function. We offer many items from sensory eating all the way to pet therapy so our residents are able to thrive in our environment, enjoy and embrace life.  Personalized, patient-centered care will provide stimulating sensory dining, daily engaging activities, social interaction encouragement and pet therapy environment.

Exercise and Physical Activities

Providing daily physical activity for our residents is an option that is always encouraged.  We invite and encourage our residents to engage in our fun, physical group activities such as balloon volleyball, chair yoga, fly swatter game, and many more! 

Memory Care Dining

Due to the nature of the disease of Alzheimer’s and dementia, our memory-care residents will inevitably experience a decline in abilities associated with maintaining proper nutrition. These methods and procedures allow our residents to achieve adequate nutritional intake of food each day.

MORE ABOUT DINING

  • Sensory Cuisine

    A dining process in general is a sensory experience for most people, and memory-care residents are no different.  They will benefit greatly from this sensory stimulus before, during and after the dining process.  Some of our methods utilized in our sensory cuisine include our freshly baked breads and pastries soothing aromas constantly permeate the common areas throughout the day.  The breakfast items such as bacon and muffins baking in the early morning frequently serve as a natural wake up call for many residents. 

  • Assigned Seating

    Just like you and me, there are some or our residents who have a preference where they would like to sit during meals and snack times.  Assigning seats helps them to build and get used to that daily routine.  We pay attention to which residents get along well, and the others who may quarrel often and adjust to minimize any aggressiveness as well as promote a state of happiness, health, well-being, and calm, allowing the development of friendships.


  • Easy-Assist Plates & Silverware

    Our utensils and plates are brightly colored, easily handled and are held in place.  Tremors, lack visual acuity, poor-coordination can be  common hinderances to the dining process so the provision of these items can help to reduce the difficulties and challenges faced during meal times. 

  • Routine Snacks & Meal Times

    We provide set daily meal times throughout the week along with regular snack times each afternoon.  Having a set time for meals and snacks to be served leads to the promotion of a healthy diet and a  daily routine that the residents anticipate looking forward to.

  • Musical Accompaniments

    We play a wide variety of music to provide a lively yet gently stimulating environment for dining during meal times.  The live performances are provided by staff and family members with the guitar and piano.  Playing music creates a unique and rewarding ambiance during meal times. 

Reviews & Testimonials

Joe’s Place was the best thing to ever happen to my Mom after she got dementia. Janis, Kristin, Bryan, their family and all the staff were so loving and caring that they became her family too. It’s so homey and beautiful and is kept incredibly clean (honestly I don’t know how they do it!).

Joe’s Place has been a Godsend for us! Steven has been coming here for a bit now and being able to have a place to bring him and know he is taken care of and safe at hours of the day that work for us is more awesome than ever. The staff are all amazing and the clients always seem happy and well cared for. Knowing that my son is taken care of means the world to me. Thank you for all you do for those who need a little extra help + love!
