the Marlin and Doris Thomas Memory Center

Located on the Lakes Campus, the seven-acre Memory Center will tend to the mind, body, and spirit of Residents living with dementia and their caregivers. The Center will comprise three primary components: The Commons building, often referred to as the Town Center, the Northern Neighborhood, and the Southern Neighborhood. Unlike traditional models, Residents will be able to roam the secure campus as they please, exercising their autonomy and upholding their dignity.

Our goal is to normalize dementia and reduce stigma. The design and programming of the Center will lean into these goals, reflecting a supportive and welcoming environment for all. Amenities will foster independence and encourage the highest level of functioning. An habilitative approach will  promote clarity, integration, and sensory engagement and an unequivocal dimension of support. Wayfinding clues and cutting-edge technology will ensure the safety of Residents. Naturally lit spaces will help maintain circadian rhythms and minimize confusion. Communal areas will welcome friends and family as they spend quality time with their loved ones. 

Operating as an Assisted Living community, the Center will employ an above-average staffing ratio of 1:5. 

This is the future of Memory Care.
