Trusted Memory Care Makes the Most of Every Moment

At First Community Village, we believe those living with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia can lead a purposeful, meaningful life. It’s a belief and commitment that comes to life each day in Roxbury Cottages, our newly renovated Memory Care Neighborhood.

We know that, even as memory fades, there is still a capacity to grow, learn, and form new friendships. To experience contentment – and joy. Our memory care programming and approach to daily life in our Upper Arlington community ensure that happens for every resident, every day.

Our Memory Care lifestyle includes a secure homelike setting, life-enhancing services, and person-centered support. Residents benefit from 24-hour care by a team trained in evidence-based dementia practices, research-based programming, and specialized therapies—while families find comfort knowing their loved ones are safe, supported, and valued.

Have Questions About Memory Care?

How do I know if my loved one needs Memory Care?

Alzheimer’s and dementia progress gradually, and changes—such as increased confusion, frustration, or difficulty with daily tasks—may go beyond typical aging. If you notice these signs, consulting a healthcare provider can help ensure your loved one gets the right support.

How is Memory Care different from Assisted Living?

Memory Care offers a higher level of support and security than assisted living. Unlike assisted living, life in our memory care community is specifically designed for those dealing with cognitive decline. Care includes dementia-trained staff, personalized routines, specialized programs, and a safe, homelike environment.

Does Memory Care help with memory loss?

Memory Care provides a familiar and consistent setting where routines and dedicated caregivers support a positive quality of life for those with memory challenges. With the right programming, care, and support, studies show that memory decline can be slowed.

How much does Memory Care cost at First Community Village?

A monthly fee covers 24-hour support from specialized staff, three daily meals with snacks, housekeeping, help with daily activities, and a secure, welcoming environment. Through cognitively appropriate, engaging, and life-enriching activities, residents receive opportunities for reminiscence, connection, and a renewed sense of purpose. We are certified for Ohio Medicaid Waiver–eligible seniors.
