Memory care of Alzheimer's and age-related dementia
Our Montessori Program for memory care is unique. We focus on the resident as an individual and tailor care around their specific needs.
Serving the Phoenix area, including Tempe, Mesa and Scottsade in the East Valley, our memory care for Alzheimer’s and dementia is part of our a continuing care retirement community. With life care, residents’ access is guaranteed.
At Friendship Village Tempe, we understand and appreciate the difficulties faced by the families and loved ones of those suffering from Alzheimer's, dementia or other forms of memory loss. It’s a condition that not only affects the person who has it, but also the people around them. That’s why we involve the family and loved ones of residents in our programs. We believe, with everyone participating, the resident’s experience will be even more positive and meaningful.
