Memory Care

Specialized care for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.

"Where Memories Matter Most"

Program Overview

Cedarbrook Village Assisted Living and Enriched Housing Residence is embarking on an expansion to create a 40-bed Memory Care facility that will provide specialized care for older adults diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or other recognized forms of dementia. The $17 million state-of-the-art facility will incorporate a strategic environmental design, enriched with cutting-edge technology, programs, and safety monitoring systems, all while being supported by staff specially trained in dementia care.

With only four Memory Care facilities currently located in Oneida and Herkimer Counties, Cedarbrook Village is positioning itself to properly support this underserved population and meet the growing needs of the aging population throughout Central New York. Groundbreaking is planned for April 2027 with completion by June 2028. 

Please consider making a gift to our capital campaign to help us build this critically needed program. Your contribution will play a pivotal role in supporting the unique needs of local individuals affected by dementia.

Donors to the capital campaign will receive unique acknowledgments based upon the gift level. Donations in any amount are greatly appreciated.
