Love From Our Families
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.

Questions?
What is the difference between Alzheimer's disease and dementia?
Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia. Dementia presents with a loss of thinking, remembering, and reasoning skills. It generally creates problems with a person's daily life and activities. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia among older people. Other types of dementia include frontotemporal disorders and Lewy body dementia.
What are the early signs of Alzheimer's disease?
According to the Alzheimer's Association, early signs of Alzheimer's disease vary, though memory problems are often among the first. Other indicators may include challenges with problem-solving, confusion with time or place, difficulty with visual and spatial relationships, new problems with words, decreased judgment, withdrawal from activities, and mood changes. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) can sometimes be an early stage, though not everyone with MCI develops Alzheimer's, and changes in movement and smell have also been linked to MCI.
For more detailed information, please refer to the Alzheimer's Association's page on 10 Early Signs and Symptoms of Alzheimer's.
What are the stages of Alzheimer's disease?
According to the Alzheimer's Association, Alzheimer's disease progresses through several stages: preclinical, early (mild), middle (moderate), and late (severe). The preclinical stage involves brain changes without noticeable symptoms, while the early stage presents with memory problems and other cognitive declines. As the disease advances to the middle stage, memory loss and confusion worsen, impacting recognition of familiar people. In the late stage, communication abilities are significantly reduced, leading to increased sleep, weight loss, difficulty swallowing, and the need for total care.
For more detailed information, please refer to the Alzheimer's Association's page on Stages of Alzheimer's.
What safety measures are in place?
Our community features secure entryways, 24/7 supervision, and fall prevention measures. Staff are trained to handle wandering behaviors and provide compassionate care in a safe, structured environment. In addition, our residents enjoy the benefit of enclosed courtyards, which provide a safe outdoor environment for relaxation and engagement. Our team vigilantly monitor residents 24/7 to ensure continuous monitoring.
Can I visit anytime?
Yes! We encourage family visits to keep loved ones connected.
How do you keep residents engaged?
We offer structured daily activities like gardening, creative workshops, cognitive games, and social gatherings. Each program is designed to promote mental stimulation, physical well-being, and emotional connection.
What kind of training does the staff have?
Our caregivers receive specialized memory care training, including dementia communication, behavior management, and safety protocols. Staff also undergo ongoing education to ensure the highest level of compassionate care.
