Marla Vista Memory Care

Marla Vista Memory Care

Welcome to Marla Vista Memory Care!

Marla Vista Memory Care is a secure community compassionately caring for individuals with late-stage dementias and Alzheimer's Disease. The building structure is designed to assist with behaviors associated with memory impairment.  Such as a fear of sleeping alone.  Every two apartments have an adjoining bathroom between them so residents who sleep better with others can leave the doors open and not feel alone.  Other apartments offer private bathrooms for those with special needs or who are not as advanced in their dementia.

The use of the color "green" is found throughout the community.  Green is associated with a feeling of peace and serenity and promotes memory and appetite (ever wonder why chalk boards were always green?).

A new hallway and sunroom were added in June, 2010 to create "no dead ends."  The community is circular so residents can walk, and walk and walk!!  The circular structure will enclose a large, central yard and patio....allowing residents to go outside unaccompanied whenever they wish (weather permitting!).

The emphasis at Marla Vista Memory Care is on routine and familiarity.  Those with memory deficit function best with a set routine that never changes. The staff at Marla Vista Memory Care strives to provide this.  The community Activity Director is an experienced professional with many years of experience working with this patient group.  Families are encouraged to bring furnishings, decor and pictures from home to surround residents with familiar items to make them feel safe.
