Memory Care
Discover the difference of Grand South Memory Care – a community that caters to the unique needs of adults suffering from cognitive decline. Memory care focuses on providing comfort and familiarity through routine, without sacrificing the satisfaction that comes from new and engaging experiences.
Our memory care residents receive all the benefits of assisted living, but with some additional support. This support includes protection through increased security, specialized staffing, memory-enhancing therapies, round-the-clock care, and more.
Celebrate Good Days
We offer our unique Good Days Program™ to residents struggling with cognitive decline. This holistic approach to memory care goes beyond addressing symptoms and behaviors. Everything, from the furniture, to the lighting, to the color schemes has been selected to reduce stress and anxiety.
Our Good Days Program™ includes:
- Memory boxes to remind residents of special events and the people who love them
- Life stations that engage residents in familiar activities like folding laundry or sorting mail
- Aromatherapy to reduce restlessness and aimless wandering
- Musical Memories events like sing-alongs and music trivia to evoke positive memories
- Treasure boxes that change regularly to encourage curiosity and discovery
- Pet therapy sessions with specially-trained dogs and cats to alleviate stress
- Hands-on projects tailored to each resident’s interests, like gardening and crafting
- Life-enriching events like exercise, spiritual events, holiday celebrations, and more.

Dining
Grand South Senior Living works with a registered dietician to create a healthy and nutritious menu, approving every food item before it becomes available to our residents. Our dietician is also responsible for establishing guidelines for any specialized diets our residents may have. We ensure each resident enjoys tasty, high quality meals that suit their specific dietary needs.
In addition to 3 balanced daily meals, we also serve daily snacks, and fresh fruit is always available to our residents.
