Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care in North Manchester, Indiana

At The Frank and Laura Smock Memory Enhancement Center, we never forget who they are to you. We like to say we offer the most—most specialized, most attentive, most respectful, most all-encompassing memory care possible for those with Alzheimer’s or other memory disorders. The homelike design in our memory care community accentuates familiar settings and structured activities to help residents experience more freedom, and to maintain and even enhance their memories.

Memory Care From the Heart

With Heartfelt CONNECTIONS – A Memory Care Program®, you don’t have to be the caregiver anymore. Instead, you can be who your loved one wants you to be: a daughter, a son or a spouse again. To fully understand how the program works, consider these simple, but powerful core beliefs that underscore our philosophy of caring:

• We recognize that what capabilities remain are far more important that what is lost.
• We make each moment meaningful and purposeful.
• We focus on each resident’s unique abilities.
• We create success stories, one small victory at a time.

Heartfelt CONNECTIONS promotes dignity and a sense of accomplishment in day-to-day activities, supports self-worth and physical and emotional well-being, and maintains a sense of purpose, satisfaction, and quality of life for your loved one.

Individualized Memory Care and Support

Our memory care programming and life stations focus on the use of remaining strengths and abilities for those in the early to middle stages* of Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.
