FLOURISH℠ MEMORY CARE WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA
What Is Memory Care for Seniors?
Memory care communities provide a safe, structured environment with set routines and specialized care and programming designed to lower stress for people living with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.
Care teams provide meals and help residents with personal care tasks, just like you find at an assisted living community. But they are also specially trained to deal with the unique issues that often arise because of dementia or Alzheimer’s. They check in with residents more frequently and provide extra structure and support to help them navigate their day.
What Sets Our Alzheimer’s Care Program Apart?
At Charter Senior Living of Williamsburg, our comprehensive Memory Care program emphasizes Charter Senior Living’s core belief that people living with memory loss can enjoy meaningful, fulfilling lives. We strive to provide them with everything they need to ensure they flourish. In fact, it’s this goal for residents that inspired the name of our Dementia Care program – Flourish℠ Memory Care.
Our Dementia Care Helps Residents Flourish.
Flourish℠ is rooted in the belief, and supported by leading-edge research, that people living with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia can grow and flourish whether they are in the early stages or later stages of memory loss.
Our experienced care teams are specially trained to help residents gain a sense of purpose and success. Whether it’s helping them select a shirt to wear, assisting them in combing their hair or helping them with a craft project, we do everything possible to ensure our residents flourish in our care.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cost of Memory Care?
The higher level of care and supervision in an Alzheimer’s residential care home comes at a price. On average, Assisted Living costs $4,000 a month, and Memory Care adds another $1,000 to $4,000 a month. Costs vary state to state and are impacted by the level of care provided.
At Charter Senior Living of Williamsburg, our monthly rates start at $6,395 per month.
How can I decide between Assisted Living and Memory Care?
Assisted living and memory care senior living communities provide many of the same services – including housing, meals and help with bathing, grooming and toileting. However, memory care communities or neighborhoods specialize in caring for seniors with all stages of Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of memory loss.
In memory care communities, environmental security is a key design feature. This means many communities are equipped with locked entrances and exits, along with other wandering-preventative tools like keypad entries, obscured exits, and doorbells signaling entering and exiting. To avoid injuries from falls, dementia care communities feature designs that minimize confusion. In addition, they offer calming therapies within soothing spaces to reduce agitation and confusion that often lead to aggression or self-injury.
Does Medicare cover Memory Care?
Medicare and Medicare Advantage Plans generally will not pay for room and board or Personal Care in a Memory Care community, although they will pay for medical care the facility provides. Veterans benefits typically help cover the cost for eligible veterans and surviving spouses who are over age 65.
