Of course it’s intimidating. Upsetting. Disheartening. But once you know it’s dementia, perhaps even Alzheimer’s disease, then you’re well on your way to being prepared to take on the future. And among your options for making that future bright are the many Memory Care programs and opportunities at Presbyterian Village North.
“Our family couldn’t be happier with the Memory Care services at Presbyterian Village North. The team members are great with Dad and provide him with the expert care, compassion and engagement he needs—it’s as if he were one of their own family members. And that gives us all a great deal of peace of mind.”

Patients who are cognitively challenged, whether from Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, require more attention and a higher level of security than residents in assisted living. Memory care residences at The Village are carefully designed to ensure that residents feel safe and secure. Our program is structured to build confidence in an environment that promotes choice and celebrates accomplishments through familiar schedules and surroundings.
Dementia refers to the loss of cognitive functions (thinking, reasoning, the ability to remember) that are severe enough to interfere with a person’s daily functioning. This group of symptoms is not a disease per se, but may accompany certain diseases or conditions. Dementia is irreversible when caused by disease or certain injuries. It may be partially or fully reversible when caused by lifestyle choices, depression or imbalances in certain substances, such as hormones or vitamins.
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia. It is a progressive, degenerative disease of the brain, characterized by loss of function and death of nerve cells in several brain areas, leading to loss of recent memories and new learning first, and eventually old memories, too.
