Memory Care & Dementia Care in Memphis, Tennessee
Specialized Alzheimer’s and dementia care in a secure, calm neighborhood.
Memory Care at The Pointe
Care Built Around the Person, Not the Diagnosis
Memory care — also referred to as dementia care or Alzheimer’s care — is specialized senior living for people with memory loss. A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or dementia changes many things. It should never change how a person is treated. In The Pointe’s dedicated memory care neighborhood, every resident is known first as themselves — the teacher, the gardener, the storyteller, the matriarch — and their care is shaped around that life story.
Our specially trained team builds each day on familiar rhythms and gentle structure, the proven foundations of comfort and confidence for residents living with memory loss.
- Secure, purpose-designed memory care neighborhood
- Caregivers specially trained in dementia care
- Consistent staffing — familiar faces every day
- Life-story care planning with each family
- Cognitive, sensory, and music-based programming
- Proactive communication with families
Designed for Serenity
A Secure, Calming Environment
Our memory care neighborhood is secured for safety and designed for peace: clear sightlines that reduce confusion, calm colors and soft light, and daily routines that residents come to know by heart. Within that gentle structure, residents move through their day with as much independence as they can safely enjoy.
The goal is a loved one who is not only safe, but settled.
A Partner for Families
A Partnership With Families
Memory care is a partnership. From your first visit, we listen — to the history, the preferences, the little things that soothe and delight. And we keep talking: regular updates, honest conversations, and an open door whenever you want to visit or simply need reassurance.
Many of our families tell us the greatest change after moving in wasn’t in their loved one’s care — it was finally being able to be a daughter, a son, a spouse again, instead of a full-time caregiver.

Common Questions
Memory Care, Answered
What is memory care (dementia care)?
Memory care, also called dementia care, is specialized senior living for people with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. It combines a secure environment, staff trained specifically in dementia care, and structured daily programming designed to preserve ability, reduce anxiety, and protect dignity.
How is memory care different from assisted living?
Memory care adds a secured neighborhood, higher staffing attention, dementia-specific training, and cognitive programming. At The Pointe, both levels exist under one roof — so if a loved one’s needs change, their address barely does.
When is it time for memory care?
Wandering, sundowning, safety scares, caregiver exhaustion, or growing confusion with daily tasks are the most common signals. If you’re asking the question, it’s worth a conversation — call (901) 753-3449 and we’ll help you think it through honestly.
Can I visit my loved one anytime?
Family involvement is encouraged, warmly. Visits, meals together, and participation in activities are always welcome.
