Specialized memory care is designed specifically for individuals living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, as well as other cognitive conditions. Unlike assisted living, memory care communities provide a secure environment, structured daily routines, and personalized care tailored to meet unique memory needs.
At The Village at Gainesville, the benefits of specialized memory support go beyond basic support. With an all-inclusive approach that covers everything from medical oversight to meaningful activities, families can rest assured that their loved ones receive the highest level of specialized care. By combining advanced dementia care methods, compassionate associates, and transparent pricing, our community simplifies decision-making and enhances overall well-being for residents and their families.
What Makes Memory Support Different at The Village at Gainesville?
Many communities use tiered pricing models, where costs rise as care needs increase. At The Village at Gainesville, we believe families deserve clarity and consistency. That’s why our memory support is provided for one flat monthly fee – no hidden costs or surprise charges.
This all-inclusive fee includes:
- 24-hour personalized dementia care
- Assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs)
- Medication management
- Security and safety measures
- Specialized memory support programming
- Housekeeping and meals
Two Leading Approaches Integrated Into Care
We proudly combine two of the nation’s most respected memory care methodologies to ensure residents receive compassionate and effective support – the Botes Memory Method, developed by dementia specialist Sira Botes, and Positive Approach to Care® (PAC), developed by renowned dementia educator Teepa Snow.
The Botes Memory Method
This innovative approach redefines dementia care by supporting not only residents, but also families and caregivers. With personalized care planning, therapeutic activities, and education for families, the Botes Memory Method addresses the full circle of memory challenges.
Through careful assessments, we determine each resident’s safest cognitive level and design a personalized care plan that evolves with their needs. Families also benefit from the Sira Botes Virtual Support Group, which provides ongoing guidance and encouragement.
Positive Approach to Care®
The Positive Approach to Care® (PAC) emphasizes what individuals can still do, rather than what they’ve lost. By focusing on strengths, our team fosters dignity, purpose, and choice. This model prioritizes relationships over tasks, creating meaningful connections between residents, caregivers, and families.
Additional Advantages of Our Approach
- Caregivers trained in both Botes and PAC® methodologies
- On-site access to medical associates, with 24/7 registered nurse availability
- Support for individuals with Alzheimer’s, Lewy body dementia, and other forms of cognitive decline
Top Benefits of Specialized Memory Care
Personalized Care Plans for Every Resident
Each resident receives a personalized care plan tailored to their cognitive stage, health needs, and individual preferences. These plans evolve as a resident’s specialized memory care needs change, ensuring they always receive the right level of support.
Trained Staff Who Understand Alzheimer’s and Other Dementias
Our trained staff specialize in dementia care and Alzheimer’s care, with expertise in behavior management, emotional support, and dementia-specific communication. With advanced training in both PAC® and the Botes Memory Method, caregivers deliver quality care with compassion and professionalism.
Therapeutic Activities That Stimulate the Mind
Engaging, purposeful programs encourage cognitive health and emotional support. Residents participate in therapeutic activities that stimulate the mind, such as music therapy, sensory exercises, storytelling, and movement classes. These programs provide brain stimulation and promote daily functioning, joy, and connection.
Structured Daily Routines That Promote Comfort and Consistency
A structured daily routine reduces confusion, builds trust, and enhances mental wellness. Predictable schedules – including meals, hygiene, activities, rest, and social engagement – provide a calming, secure environment where residents thrive.
Supportive Social Opportunities That Foster Connection
Isolation can intensify memory challenges. Our supportive social opportunities encourage companionship, group activities, and shared experiences. With associates’ guidance, residents form bonds, reminisce, and enjoy meaningful interactions that enrich resident well-being.
Safe and Secure Living Environment
The Village at Gainesville’s specialized design prioritizes senior safety. Secured areas, enclosed courtyards, and safety features help prevent wandering or injury. Families gain peace of mind knowing their loved ones are supported by around-the-clock monitoring and a caring team.
Improved Quality of Life
One of the most important benefits of specialized memory care is the improved quality of life for residents and families. Residents experience reduced stress, consistent care, and greater opportunities for engagement. Families benefit from fewer caregiving responsibilities, stronger peace of mind, and more meaningful time with their loved ones.
Who Benefits Most From Memory Care?

- Seniors in the mid-to-late stages of Alzheimer’s and other dementias
