A Heartfelt Approach to Memory Care: Two Levels of Specialized Support

At Encore Village, we recognize that memory care is not one-size-fits-all. That’s why we offer two distinct levels of memory support, ensuring that every resident receives personalized care in a setting that best meets their needs.

  • Reflections Memory Support at Willows Assisted Living – Designed for those who benefit from a secure, assisted living environment, this program provides private apartments, dedicated care, and a focus on dignity, independence, and daily engagement.
  • Reflections Memory Support at Briarwood Healthcare Center – For residents with mid to late-stage memory loss, this program offers 24-hour skilled care in a nurturing, therapeutic setting designed to enhance familiarity, promote comfort, and provide compassionate assistance.

No matter the stage of memory loss, Encore Village provides the right level of support ina caring, secure, and enriching environment.

Our Commitment to Excellence in Care

Our memory support staff are certified Dementia Care Specialists (DCS), a distinction from the Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) that signifies a high level of academic and practical expertise. Additionally, we ensure continuous education and training in dementia care, extending learning opportunities to the families of our residents.

From exceptional services and world-class amenities to engaging activities and friendships that feel like family, this is senior living at its finest. But don’t just take our word for it—see what our residents and their families love about life at Encore Village!

Exceeded Expectations

"Encore Village has exceeded our expectations. We moved here before we had to move because, when you do, you have a better opprotunity to adjust to the new surroundings. That has been true for us. Rather than one restaurant to serve us in independent living, we have three restaurants plus a lounge with more than 120 menu items to choose from daily. Lifestyles programs are terrific. The Center for Life-Long Learning provides lectures, discussions, trips and other opportunities to keep your mind sharp and learn. The Fitness Center and pool have two staff experts to assist in just the right exercises for each person. Plus there are crafts, concerts and trips for all to enjoy. Finally, and most important, you won't find a more friendly and welcoming staff and residents. Rather than just sittiing in your single family home or condo without friends close by, Encore Village will provide options for friendships that you will highly value...some just like family!"

We Couldn’t be More Pleased

"My parents moved in 6 weeks ago to assisted living and we couldn’t be more pleased with the care they are receiving. The entire staff is superb: from food service to nurses to RAs to activities team to the administrators. It is a truly caring environment that provides a safe home for our parents and peace of mind for us."
