Memory Lane Cottage is an innovative and forward-thinking assisted living facility for individuals with Alzheimer’s or dementia. The residences, located in Oviedo and Tampa, are designed with luxury living in mind and are dedicated to creating a familiar home atmosphere that is as natural and barrier-free as possible. The smaller Memory Lane Cottage offers a home-like environment, accommodating a maximum of 20 residents and allowing for individualized and specific care plans. Each resident will enjoy cozy estate-style living, ensconced in a safe community that maintains the comforts of home and supports dignity and quality of life.
The staff at Memory Lane Cottage is professionally trained in caring for the special needs of those with impaired cognitive abilities. The staff works with the family to understand the unique life experiences of each resident in order to provide the best quality of life for them. The community’s structured activity program is curated to optimize the tactile and cognitive stimulation memory care patients require. Residents have the opportunity to participate in games, attend movies, and engage in physical activity. An oversized, enclosed courtyard incorporates walking paths and planters for gardening activities, both known to provide valuable therapy to memory care patients.
