Purpose & Belonging
Recognized by U.S. News and World Report as a “Best of Memory Care” for three years running, our memory care services are designed with kindness and compassion at their core and focus on the unique needs of each resident with cognitive disorders like Alzheimer’s or dementia.
Inspired by the best-selling book Meet Me Where I Am, our Lilac Trace philosophy emphasizes the importance of connecting residents to their past while celebrating their present point of view at any given moment. The five key elements of our Lilac Trace philosophy:
- We treat everyone as an individual. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to care.
- We respect each resident by understanding their individual history.
- We walk side by side with each resident daily and accept people for who they are now.
- We understand that behaviors and expressions are a form of communication.
- We strive to make each moment special.
We support residents with comprehensive services, amenities, and wellness programs. Discover how our vibrant, all-inclusive Lilac Trace Memory Care neighborhood can enrich the life of your loved one with cognitive decline.
Together, we can make a difference in their lives.

What Makes Lilac Trace Memory Care Different?
Connection, collaboration, and compassion guide us and inspire us to cultivate a community where memory care is characterized by empathy, deep respect, and dignity.
We are committed to creating a nurturing environment where every person is seen, heard, and valued.
Our approach begins with a better understanding of who we’re caring for. Our care associates are trained to walk alongside each resident on their individual journey. Our proprietary tools enlighten care associates while honoring each resident’s legacy:
- A “Moments in Time” questionnaire that provides a personal biography and life history.

- We create evidence-based dementia-specific programs and activities to engage residents daily.
Continual collaboration with families is vital to the successful day-to-day care of our residents and is at the heart of everything we do:
- Our Bridge App provides real-time communication with families.
- Support groups that provide education and resources for families.
- Ongoing family wellness conferences to review residents’ progress in Lilac Trace Memory Care.
Every Lilac Trace Memory Care neighborhood provides exceptional services and care in a nurturing environment.
- We offer dignified dining, understanding residents’ preferences and abilities.
- We manage resident medications with respect and patience.
