Memory Care

Specialized Memory Care Facility Where Every Resident Is Truly Known

At Addie Meedom House, memory care for seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia starts with understanding who the person was before the diagnosis and building daily life around that.

Memory Care Built Around the Individual

Before creating a care plan, we take time to learn each resident's story, routines, interests, and preferences. That understanding helps us provide personalized support that feels familiar, comforting, and meaningful.

Rather than focusing on what someone can no longer do, we focus on their strengths and abilities. In our close-knit community, consistent caregivers and familiar faces help residents feel secure, connected, and understood.

SAFETY AND SECURITY

A Secure Setting That Feels Like Home

Specialized Individual Support

Care built around each resident's specific abilities, triggers, preferences, and history rather than a standardized dementia protocol applied uniformly.

Planned Routines

Consistent daily rhythms that give residents a sense of what comes next, reducing anxiety and creating comfort through predictability rather than surprise.

Dedicated Activity Calendar

Activities chosen based on what each resident has always enjoyed, not what is easiest to organize, because engagement tied to real interests produces better outcomes.

Independence & Dignity

Residents are supported in participating in daily life at whatever level they are capable of, with help offered in ways that do not feel diminishing or rushed.

Why We Keep Families Part Of Our Care Plan

Placing a loved one in memory care is not a decision families make lightly, and it does not end the family's involvement in that person's care. At Addie Meedom House, we treat family communication as a core part of what we do, not an add-on.

Open Communication

Families receive regular updates on their loved one's well-being, daily life, and any changes our team observes. We do not wait for something to go wrong before reaching out, and we make ourselves reachable through whatever channel works best for each family.

Supportive Environment

Our community is physically secure and designed to feel calm and residential rather than institutional. Residents move through familiar spaces with staff who know them, which reduces the disorientation that unfamiliar environments can cause.

Experienced Team

Our care staff is experienced specifically in supporting seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia. They know how to communicate with residents whose ability to express themselves has changed, how to de-escalate difficult moments, and how to maintain the kind of consistency that memory care residents depend on.

Senior Memory Care Plans

When a new memory care resident joins us, our team conducts a thorough personal history review. We want to know what they did for work, what their daily life looked like before cognitive decline set in, what kinds of music they respond to, what foods they have always loved, and what tends to calm them when they are distressed.

That information becomes the foundation of their care plan. It informs how staff talk to them, what activities they are invited into, what the structure of their day looks like, and how we respond when difficult moments arise. A resident who spent decades gardening is not going to be redirected the same way as someone who was a musician or a teacher. The plan reflects the actual person, and it gets updated as that person changes.

See What Residents & Families Say About Us

My mother was here for a year before she passed. Compared to several other senior living places my mother was in, I found Addie Meedom administration and staff to be very caring and concerned for my mother's well-being. And, very importantly, my mother really liked them. They were excellent at keeping me informed of any health issues and easy to work with. Thank You Addie Meedom for taking good care of my mom!

My Mother was at Addie Meedom for about 8 months. I could not take care of her at my home anymore. The staff at Addie Meedom was so kind to both of us understanding the hard decision I had to make and the equally difficult transition period my Mother was going through. I was there at least 3 times a day to visit and check on my Mother. Every time I came in I saw the staff cheerfully helping the residents with kindness and infinite patience. I really don't know how they did that day after day. The truth is when your loved one ends up in senior care, it's probably way overdue. Sadly they will not get any better over the long run but need more and more care. That is the sad truth about dementia and Alzheimer's it is a one way street. I am very grateful we have such nice place in Crescent City. My Mother in time was very happy there and made friends with staff and residents. Jennifer the manager was wonderful. Katie ,AJ , Heaven , Patricia, Rose , Barbara I love you all
