Love From Our Families
Loved one in memory care

My mom moved into her new home a few weeks ago. I was able to visit with her this week while being in Florida and my gosh, I know she is right where she needs to be. Huge shoutout to Jerry, Diana, Paula, Kathy and Apryl. You are real life angels. The energy you bring is above and beyond. To see how you interact with not only my mom, but all the residents, it truly warms my heart. While it is heartbreaking to see my mom battle Alzheimer's, I know she is in the perfect place. She is safe and receiving the care she needs. <3 The place is clean, accommodating and most importantly feels like home. I love that there is a schedule and many activities for the residents to participate in. My mom has loved the painting and coloring

Upon entering this beautiful community, I was deeply impressed by the exceptional level of care and compassion demonstrated by all the caregivers. Every member of the team, from maintenance staff to the executive director, significantly contributes to the residents' quality of life. The interior courtyards offer a safe and beautiful outdoor escape for the residents, while the dining area is both elegant and spacious. GCMC stands out as one of the premier memory care centers I have ever visited.

Exceptional dedication. Genuine care 24/7, everyone is doing a great job, from Management to the care team. Jerry and Diana are conducting the business, but you can see them walking the hallway and chatting with the residents, literally knowing everyone. There is an engine who works behind the scenes to have the day and night activity running smoothly. Family feeling, warmth, and genuine care, overall, 5 stars. Residents are never alone, there is always a pair of eyes to watch and hands ready to help as needed, but all is done in a certain way, so our loved ones don’t feel any loss of their independence. Beautifully done. The activities are not just lines on paper, everyone is involved. Food is first class.

National Assisted Living Week: Celebrating Community, Connection, and Compassion at Gulf Coast Memory Care

September 10, 20253 min read

Each September, assisted living communities across the country come together to celebrate National Assisted Living Week (NALW)—a special time dedicated to honoring the remarkable lives of our residents and the compassionate professionals who care for them. At Gulf Coast Memory Care (GCMC), NALW is more than a week on the calendar; it’s a heartfelt reflection of our mission to provide exceptional memory care in a family-like environment.

What is National Assisted Living Week?

A Celebration of Seniors and Staff

NALW was established to recognize the unique stories, contributions, and experiences of those who call assisted living communities home—as well as the dedicated staff who support them every day. It’s a week to celebrate the resilience, wisdom, and individuality of our residents and to express deep gratitude for the caregivers, nurses, and team members who make a difference in their lives.

A Public Awareness Campaign

Beyond celebration, NALW serves as a vital opportunity to educate families and the broader community about assisted living. Many people are unaware of the supportive, enriching environment memory care communities like GCMC provide. Assisted living empowers seniors and individuals with disabilities to receive the care they need while preserving their independence, dignity, and sense of purpose. By sharing stories and opening our doors during NALW, we help families understand the profound benefits of specialized memory care—where safety, engagement, and emotional well-being are always at the forefront.

A Themed Event

Each year, NALW adopts a new theme to inspire creativity and connection. This theme guides a week of meaningful activities, events, and celebrations designed to engage residents, foster friendships, and strengthen our sense of community. Whether it’s live music, gardening, art, or family luncheons, the activities reflect our commitment to making every day purposeful and joyful for those we serve.

This year, the theme is 'Ageless Adventure'.

How Gulf Coast Memory Care Celebrates NALW

At GCMC, Assisted Living Week is woven into the fabric of our community. Our team—trained in specialized dementia care—works together to create a week filled with laughter, learning, and heartfelt moments. Here’s how we bring the spirit of NALW to life:

- Resident Spotlights: We share stories that honor our residents’ journeys, talents, and achievements, reminding us all of the rich lives they continue to lead.

- Staff Appreciation: Our caregivers are the heart of GCMC. Throughout NALW, we celebrate their dedication with special recognition, team-building events, and opportunities for families to express their appreciation.

- Engaging Activities: Guided by the annual theme, our Activities Director and care team plan a variety of events—from creative workshops to live music and intergenerational gatherings—that encourage participation and connection at every stage of dementia.

- Family Involvement: We invite families to join us for special luncheons, open houses, and collaborative activities, strengthening the bonds that make GCMC feel like home.

- Community Outreach: NALW is also a time for us to reach out and educate the wider Estero community about the value of memory care. We provide resources, answer questions, and welcome new families to experience our warm, supportive environment firsthand.

Connecting NALW to Our Mission

At Gulf Coast Memory Care, our mission is simple: to provide exceptional, person-centered memory care in an environment where every resident feels seen, heard, and valued. National Assisted Living Week is a powerful reminder of why we do what we do. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the small moments—shared laughter, a favorite song, a new friendship—that make life meaningful for our residents and their families.

We believe that memory care is not just about support, but about fostering joy, dignity, and belonging every single day. NALW is the perfect time to reflect on these values, celebrate our community, and invite others to discover the difference compassionate memory care can make.

If you’d like to learn more about life at GCMC or how we’re celebrating National Assisted Living Week this year, we invite you to connect with our team. We’re always here to answer your questions and welcome you into our family.
