Memory Care

At Mira at Maumelle, our memory care community was designed from the ground up to support individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and related memory loss conditions. We believe that a diagnosis doesn’t define a life. With the right environment, the right people, and the right daily rhythm, every resident can experience meaning, comfort, and connection.

Our team is passionate, trained, and present. We care for every resident the way we would care for our own family. Whether your loved one is in the early stages of memory loss or needs more advanced support, we’re here to meet them exactly where they are.

Who Is Memory Care For?

Memory care is designed for individuals whose cognitive decline affects their ability to safely manage daily life. Our community supports residents living with

  • Alzheimer's disease (all stages)
  • Vascular dementia
  • Mixed dementia
  • Other memory-related conditions requiring structured, secured care

If you’re unsure whether memory care is the right step, we’re happy to have a private conversation with you and your family at no obligation. Signs that memory care may be needed include repeated disorientation, difficulty with daily tasks like bathing or dressing, wandering, significant changes in personality or behavior, or a caregiver feeling overwhelmed or unsafe.

Our Approach to Memory Care

Mira at Maumelle takes a person-centered approach to memory care. That means we get to know each resident: their history, their preferences, the music they love, the foods that comfort them, the routines that make them feel at home. We build care around the individual, not a schedule.

Our team receives ongoing specialized training in dementia care, communication techniques, and behavior support. We don’t just manage symptoms. We focus on what each person can still do, and we create moments of joy and familiarity throughout every day.

A Secure, Purposeful Environment

Our memory care neighborhood is a dedicated, secured area of our community designed specifically for residents with memory loss. Secured exterior doors provide safety and peace of mind without feeling institutional. The spaces are warm, residential, and easy to navigate, reducing the confusion and anxiety that can come from unfamiliar environments.

Private memory care studios are spacious, bright, and fully accessible. Each studio features a private bathroom and kitchenette specially designed to support independence at each resident’s level. Residents are encouraged to personalize their space with familiar items like photos, a favorite chair, and meaningful objects to create a sense of home.

A Day in Memory Care at Mira at Maumelle

Structure and routine are essential for residents with memory loss. Our daily schedule is intentionally consistent while still offering choice and variety. A typical day includes:

  • Morning routine assistance: personalized help with bathing, dressing, and grooming at each resident's own pace
  • Restaurant-style dining: nutritious, freshly prepared meals with familiar favorites, served in a calm, social setting
  • Structured activities: purposefully designed programming that engages memory, senses, and social connection
  • Outdoor time: access to walking paths and outdoor spaces in a safe, supervised setting
  • Evening wind-down: calming routines that support restful sleep

Activities Designed for Memory Care Residents

Our activity programming is built around what research shows works best for individuals with memory loss: familiarity, sensory engagement, social connection, and purposeful movement. Activities include:

Music and reminiscence therapy

Art and sensory crafts

Gentle exercise and movement classes

Trivia, games, and word activities

Intergenerational programming with visiting groups

Faith services and spiritual support (on-site chaplain visits available)

One-on-one time with team members for residents who prefer quieter engagement

Supporting Families Through Every Stage

We know that placing moving a loved one to an apartment for memory care is one of the hardest decisions a family can make. Our team is here to support you, not just on move-in day, but through every change, every question, and every milestone after.

Families are welcome to visit any time. We offer a guest apartment for out-of-town visitors, and we encourage family involvement in care planning. We’ll communicate proactively about changes in your loved one’s condition, and our team is always available to answer your questions.

One of the most important features of Mira at Maumelle is our continuum of care. If a resident’s needs change, or if a family isn’t ready for full memory care yet, we can adjust the level of support without requiring a disruptive move. Residents can transition between independent living, assisted living, and memory care all within our community.

Why Choose Mira at Maumelle?

The decision to move into a retirement community isn’t ever an easy one. We aim to make that decision as easy as possible by supporting not only our residents, but their families too. Thanks to our range of different care levels, residents can move from Independent Living to Assisted Living or even Memory Care without ever having to go through another stressful, costly move. With independent living, memory care, and assisted living options in one community, families can plan for today and tomorrow with greater peace of mind.

Memory Care FAQs

How do I know if my parent needs memory care rather than assisted living?

Assisted living is designed for seniors who need help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or medication but who are generally aware of their surroundings and don’t pose a safety risk to themselves. Memory care is appropriate when cognitive decline is severe enough that the person may wander, become disoriented in unfamiliar settings, struggle to recognize family members, or require constant supervision. If you’re unsure, call us. We’ll help you think through it honestly.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, but dementia is a broader term that includes vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and others. At Mira at Maumelle, our memory care program is designed to support individuals with all types of dementia, not just Alzheimer’s. Our team is trained in the specific behavioral and cognitive patterns associated with each condition.

Medicare does not cover memory care in assisted living. Medicaid coverage varies by state and eligibility. Most residents in memory care pay through private funds, long-term care insurance, or a combination. We recommend consulting with an elder law attorney or financial advisor to understand your specific options. Our team can also help connect you with local resources.

Yes. One of the key advantages of Mira at Maumelle is our continuum of care. Residents in independent living or assisted living can transition to memory care without moving to a different building or community. This continuity reduces stress for residents and families, and it means your loved one’s relationships with our team carry forward.
