We KNOW Each Resident in Our Memory Care Community
Heartfelt Connections is an individualized program that starts with getting to know the life story of each resident living with dementia, focusing on their individual capabilities. Then we develop a personalized plan that concentrates on their unique abilities and celebrates each small success.
Heartfelt Connections is a specialized memory care program promoting dignity and a sense of accomplishment in day-to-day activities, supports improved self-worth, self-esteem, and overall health and well-being; and reduces fear, anxiety, and frustration.
It’s an approach guided by these principles:
- We view aging as a natural process – life stories that are continued
- We believe what remains is far more important than what is lost
- We focus on each resident’s unique abilities
- We embrace and celebrate everything our residents do
- We create success stories, one small victory at a time

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT MEMORY CARE
We understand there are many things to think about when planning your move. Here are some of the questions we get asked the most.
What factors should I consider in my memory care checklist?
When evaluating memory care options in Illinois, a comprehensive memory care checklist helps ensure you find the right fit for your loved one. Consider these essential factors:
- Daily living and safety—secure environment, assistance with ADLs, medication management, and supervised activities
- Health and cognitive changes—specialized dementia training for staff, cognitive therapy programs, and coordination with healthcare providers
- Social and emotional well-being—meaningful engagement activities, opportunities for connection, and programs that honor residents’ abilities
- Staff expertise—Alzheimer’s and dementia-specific training, staff-to-resident ratios, and caregiver continuity
- Physical environment—secured walking areas, clear wayfinding, familiar homelike design, and sensory-friendly spaces
- Financial and household management—transparent pricing, what’s included in monthly costs, and insurance acceptance
- Care philosophy—person-centered approach that focuses on remaining abilities rather than limitations
What are the differences between independent living vs assisted living vs memory care?
- Independent living—who it’s for: active, self-sufficient seniors age 62+ seeking maintenance-free lifestyle and social opportunities
- Independent living services—housekeeping, dining, transportation, wellness programs, activities, and amenities
- Independent living support—minimal assistance; residents manage their own daily activities
- Assisted living—who it’s for: seniors needing help with activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, medication management)
- Assisted living services—all independent living services plus personalized care assistance, health monitoring, and medication management
- Assisted living support—daily assistance with ADLs, customized care plans, licensed nursing available 24/7
- Memory care—who it’s for: individuals with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or significant cognitive impairment requiring specialized supervision
- Memory care services—all assisted living services plus specialized dementia programs, secure environment, and cognitive therapy
- Memory care support—24/7 specialized care from dementia-trained staff, secured neighborhoods, and programs focused on remaining abilities
- Cost comparison—independent living has the lowest monthly fees, assisted living costs more due to care services, and memory care typically has the highest fees reflecting specialized staffing and secure environments

Unlike many other memory care and assisted living communities, with us, residents pay one monthly fee. Other communities often promote an à la carte pay structure, where extra fees are charged as care needs increase, but the cost of memory care is inclusive for all Sedgebrook residents.
