Support & Gift Ideas for Memory Care

How to Make the Most of Your Visit 

At the Judith Brogren Memory Care Center, nothing brings us more joy than seeing the faces of loved ones brighten our community. We’ve thoughtfully created a warm, welcoming environment where every visit feels easy, meaningful, and full of connection. To help make your time with us even more special, we’ve gathered a few simple tips to ensure your visit is relaxed, memorable, and filled with joy.


Call Ahead

We’re always excited to hear you’re planning a visit! Just give us a quick call to let us know when you’ll be here and how many people are coming. That way, we can set up a cozy spot for you—and if you’d like to stay for a meal, we’ll make sure a table is ready so you can relax and enjoy your time together.


Bring a Furry Friend

At the Judith Brogren Memory Care Center, we know that pets have a special way of bringing comfort, joy, and smiles. If you have a friendly, up-to-date dog, cat, or even a bunny at home, we encourage you to bring them along for your visit! Our pet-friendly community loves welcoming four-legged guests, and their presence never fails to brighten the day for our residents and staff alike.


Make Our Space Your Space

At the Judith Brogren Memory Care Center, we invite you to make yourself at home in our thoughtfully designed spaces that foster comfort, connection, and tranquility. Whether you're sharing a quiet moment in your loved one's private or semi-private room, enjoying a conversation by the fireplace in our cozy common areas, or basking in the sunshine on our secure outdoor porch and garden, every setting is crafted to support meaningful interactions. These welcoming environments are integral to our commitment to providing a homelike atmosphere where residents and their families can create cherished memories together. ​

Join in an Activity

At the Judith Brogren Memory Care Center, every day is filled with opportunities for connection, creativity, and joy. Our thoughtfully designed activity calendar offers a variety of engaging experiences tailored to support the well-being of our residents and their families. From morning walks and chair exercises to arts and crafts sessions, sing-alongs, and scenic rides, there's always something happening to inspire and uplift. We warmly invite family members to join in these activities, whether it's participating in a favorite game, enjoying live music performances, or simply sharing a cup of coffee during our "Current Events & Coffee" gatherings. Your presence adds a special touch to our community, making each moment more meaningful.
