Finding the Right Balance of Support and Independence
Memory Support in New Albany
Otterbein New Albany Neighborhood provides a comforting and calming space where residents experiencing cognitive decline find the right balance of support and independence. Although the community is not equipped to support individuals with advanced memory loss, it is thoughtfully structured to provide a comfortable and supportive environment for those living with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia.
Quality of life drives our memory support approach, with specially-trained partners (employees) who combine professional expertise with genuine compassion. We stay current with the latest research while adapting programs to meet changing needs, always focusing on what brings joy and meaning to each day. By learning individual stories, routines, and preferences, we create personalized support plans that celebrate who each person is beyond their diagnosis.
