Assisted Living: Housing for seniors that provides 24 hr nursing care, coordination of home health or rehab services, medication assistance, weekly housekeeping, attention to changes in level of function from day to day, and well-prepared meals.


Memory care: Offers 24-hour nursing care, dementia trained staff, memory-enhancing activities and therapies, and a secure serene environment. In addition, our Montessori approach to caring for each member of our community here provides a sense of purpose and direction for all.

Memory Care

Yes, if they are

1) Married

2) Able to make sound decisions or consent,

3) Their responsible parties agree to the union/living relationship.

Frequent safety checks by staff (every 30 mins), automatic night lights in bathrooms, a locked closet in all bedrooms for chemicals (toiletries) and personal equipment like electric razors, red emergency outlets for power outages, windows that partially open, and doors with timed egress that will open when pressed upon in the case of an emergency.

There’s time each day for crafts, exercise, and outdoor activities in our beautiful, serene courtyard that is filled with lavender and lemongrass. We prep foods that our dining service chefs cook from our garden. We complete games and puzzles providing the stimulation and interaction needed with a Montessori approach that promotes purpose and independence. Our spiritual support extends to the families with a support group that meets monthly to learn and grow together. Learn more https://villageatsugarland.com/living-options/memory-care/

The Rivers takes a different approach to Memory Care. Inspired by the Montessori Method, we focus on what residents can do, not what they can’t do. Our activities engage the senses to create positive emotions, helping people feel more comfortable and connect to long-term memories.

There is no definite number of staff members assigned to an exact number of residents. We consider each resident’s individual needs and services during the ongoing assessment process and modify our staffing model to fit the acuity of our memory care population.

The basic difference between nursing homes and memory care is that memory care is exclusively for people with dementia while nursing homes are for people with almost any medical issue that makes living at home too difficult. Nursing homes offer a more clinical, hospital-like setting while memory care is more home-like.
