Personalized Memory Care, Built Around Who They Are
Introducing Bethany Village Memory Care – a program built not around a diagnosis, but around a person. The person your loved one has always been. Our memory care program provides personalized support for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, with meaningful daily engagement, dementia-informed care, and guidance for families at every stage.
Memory Care Expansion At Bethany Village
Coming Spring 2027: Bethany Village is expanding its memory care community, making personalized care and support available to more individuals and families. Our newly renovated space features 56 beautiful memory care rooms, welcoming more people into a community built around meaningful connection and person-centered care.
WHAT SETS US APART
Choosing memory care for someone you love is one of the hardest decisions a family can make. At Bethany Village, we believe memory care should be about more than managing symptoms. It should be about knowing the person behind the diagnosis and supporting the people who love them, too. Our program is built on four interlocking commitments to you and your loved one. Together, they create something families rarely find: care that’s as thoughtful as it is skilled.
1. Personalized Care From the Start
Before care begins, we learn what makes your loved one who they are, including daily routines, preferences, interests, social and spiritual needs, and the things that bring comfort. That information becomes the foundation of their care. Not a chart. A person.
2. Clear Guidance For Families
3. Daily Meaningful Engagement
Connection, purpose, and joy remain important at every stage of dementia. With more than 20 hours of weekly programming, certified music therapy, art expression, movement, and cognitive engagement, our memory care program creates opportunities for meaningful experiences every day.
4. Expert Team Care
Through I’m Still Here®-inspired training, our caregivers are equipped to approach each individual with care, compassion, and an understanding of the unique perspective and needs of someone living with dementia. Care also includes a registered nurse onsite 24/7 and full-time social worker.
Learn about your options and get personalized results in about 4 minutes.
Caregiver Story
Choosing memory care for someone you love is a deeply personal journey. For Sharon, finding the right care for her mom, Betty, meant knowing they would be supported with compassion, understanding, and respect. Through their story, discover how Bethany Village’s personalized approach to memory care helps families navigate the journey while keeping the person behind the diagnosis at the heart of it all.
Watch their story below and discover what personalized memory care can look like.
The Bethany Village Memory Care Program isn’t a philosophy that just lives on paper. It’s something you’ll witness the moment you walk through the doors – in the way our care partners speak, in the rooms where life is happening, and in the face of your loved one at the end of the day.
You may find a resident who rarely speaks, singing along to a song from their past – word for word. Our certified music therapist designs sessions around each resident’s personal history and preferences, not a generic playlist. Music Therapy is scheduled weekly and tailored to where each resident is in their dementia journey.
Watch what happens when light and movement magically appear on a tabletop in front of a resident in later-stage dementia. The Tovertafel – an interactive light technology system designed in the Netherlands especially for memory care – prompts moments of spontaneous engagement, laughter, and connection that families often describe as “like seeing them again.”
Residents aren’t handed a coloring sheet. Through our OMA-Certified art programming (Opening Minds Through Art), each project is chosen to connect with something meaningful to the individual – a former career, a lifelong hobby, a place they loved. You’ll see finished work displayed with pride, not tucked in a drawer.
Bethany’s certified Fit Minds instructor leads cognitive stimulation sessions designed to meet residents where they are – challenging without frustrating, engaging without overwhelming. You may see residents laughing, competing, and even surprising themselves.
When is it time to consider memory care for a loved one?
It may be time to consider memory care when memory loss or dementia begins to affect your loved one’s safety, daily routines, personal care, or quality of life. If family members are providing increasing amounts of support or are concerned about what might happen when they aren’t there, it can be helpful to explore memory care before a crisis occurs.
What is the difference between assisted living and memory care?
Assisted living provides support with everyday activities such as bathing, dressing, meals, housekeeping, and medications while helping older adults maintain independence. Memory care is specifically designed for people living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia and typically provides additional structure, supervision, specialized programming, and dementia-informed care.
How can I talk to my loved one about moving to memory care?
Start with a conversation about what your parent needs to feel safe, supported, and engaged rather than focusing immediately on moving. Listen to their concerns, involve them in decisions whenever possible, and consider visiting memory care communities together. A conversation with a memory care professional can also help your family understand available options without making an immediate commitment.
How do families pay for memory care?
Memory Care at Bethany Village is based on all-inclusive pricing for three levels of care that combine the resident’s room cost plus the level of care required. Starting at $8,450, the appropriate care level for your loved one is determined by a clinical assessment at time of admission. Please contact a sales counselor for more information.
What if my family member's needs change?
Choosing Bethany Village means choosing a community that grows with your loved one. With a full continuum of care available on campus, you can have the peace of mind that as your loved one’s needs evolve, compassionate, personalized support is always within reach.
Every family and every dementia journey is different. Tell us about your loved one, your concerns, and what matters most to your family. We’ll help you understand your options and show you how Bethany Village can support your family through what comes next.
At Bethany Village, our memory care and assisted living suites are designed to feel like home with the added comfort of knowing support is always nearby. For both individuals and couples, the units offer accessible, comfortable spaces where you can maintain your routines, welcome visitors, and enjoy your own sense of privacy and independence.
