Alzheimer's, Dementia and Memory Care Services

Emeritus at Sun City West offers a unique and individualized approach to Alzheimer’s, dementia and memory care. Our small, cozy 54-room community allows for a home-like atmosphere with the care and support needed to help each individual thrive.

Over the past decade our memory care community has become well known in the area for our innovative approach to caring for seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia; an approach we call "Join Their Journey." The premise of Join Their Journey® is simple: We believe that seniors affected by memory disorders still have so much to contribute to life. So our goal is to create a nurturing environment and provide ongoing opportunities every day that allow them to live purposeful, successful lives despite their disease.

We create specially designed memory care neighborhoods that provide a personalized, familiar and secure setting tailored to each resident's unique needs. Within this environment, our highly trained staff joins residents in their moment, rather than trying to bring them into our reality.

Through this approach, we recognize individuality, encourage choices and help residents maintain their dignity. We also work diligently to get to know each resident and his or her family, so that we can offer the right support for every stage of the disease process.

Our memory care community is designed to care for seniors with Alzheimer's, Dementia and/or memory loss issues through various services and amenities. These services and amenities will be based on each resident's needs. Learn more about Emeritus’ dementia care services.
