Comforting Alzheimer’s Care in Cape Coral, FL

More than 580,000 people over 65 in Florida are living with Alzheimer’s. It’s the most common form of dementia. Memory care facilities are one option to relieve the burden and stress of providing care alone. Over 806,000 family members in the Sunshine State support a loved one living with dementia.

The Gallery at Cape Coral is an Assisted Living and Memory Care community. We specialize in clean, comforting, and personalized care for older adults living with memory loss. Our scenic location among the mangroves and palm trees allows residents to live with passion and purpose.

What is Memory Care?

Memory care provides purposeful Assisted Living services for people living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Team members assist with activities of daily living and let residents experience a higher level of personal care.

Neurocognitive disorders like Alzheimer’s are progressive. At-home care may be manageable in the early stages. 24-hour care and supervision will be required at some point. Memory care lifts this burden from family members struggling to provide care.
