San Gabriel Memory Care is a community made for people living with Alzheimer's, dementia, or other memory issues, and the place feels homey with only 17 private apartments per neighborhood, shared gathering areas, and easy access to enclosed outdoor patios, which means residents don't feel crowded but can still mingle and move around safely. The staff have specific training in caring for those with memory challenges and they help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication, while also offering emotional support, and they're there around the clock, day and night. There are lots of activities-gentle exercise, music therapy, group discussions, recollection therapy, and even arts and crafts-that aim to help residents with memory and keep everyone as active as possible, and the structured routines seem to help people feel relaxed and focused. The building has lots of natural light, soothing colors, open hallways, and familiar visual cues, all designed to make it easier for folks to find their way and feel less confused. Family-style dining happens all day with simple table settings, steady seating arrangements, and help as needed, which probably makes mealtime both comfortable and social, and they serve special diets if that's what somebody needs. Residents can enjoy movie nights, walking paths, gardens, community kitchens, and there's even a salon and barber available, plus housekeeping and laundry are handled for them. The whole place is secure with an emergency alert system and doors that keep everyone safe, letting residents move around but stay in protected spaces. Caregivers also work with each family to learn about personal needs and preferences, so each person gets a care plan suited just to them, and there's a single monthly fee without hidden costs, which keeps things simple. The overall goal seems to be to create a setting where people living with memory challenges can stay safe, connected, and keep their dignity, with support for both their minds and their daily life.

2509 Frank Watson Pkwy, Highland, IL, 62249- Assisted living
- Memory care
Caring staff, engaging activities, clean
I'm a family member of a resident and overall very pleased. Staff are professional, trained in dementia care, consistent, and always nearby-helping with bathroom visits, feedings, and really knowing the residents. The Activities Director is excellent with full days of upbeat activities (Noodle Ball, puzzles, music, parties), residents stay engaged, and the facility feels welcoming, clean, and safe. Food is above average and staff listen and meet needs; I'd recommend it. Minor downsides: a stubborn sink in the room, no on-site salon, and limited options for my mom due to advanced dementia/blindness and occasional quarantine restrictions.
