What Is Memory Care?
Memory care is a specialized form of senior living designed to support individuals with memory-related conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. These communities provide tailored environments, trained staff, and structured programs that cater to the unique needs of residents with cognitive impairments.
At The Mann House in Sandy Springs, our Valeo™ Memory Care services emphasize safety, comfort, and enrichment. Valeo, meaning “to thrive” in Latin, represents our holistic approach to enhancing residents’ well-being. Learn more about our personalized approach by downloading our Free Memory Care Guide.
