MIND & MEMORY CARE

Atrium at Rocky Hill residents and their families have personalized dementia care overseen by a licensed social worker at their disposal 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and share in stimulating experiences with specially trained, tenured staff who love what they do.

Our Mind & Memory Care offers award-winning care and experiences so those with Alzheimer’s and dementia can prosper. Our associates have been hired for heart and educated for skill to provide personalized, needs-based care that supports individual abilities. We continually strive to exceed expectations and achieve excellence because truly caring for someone means always wanting to be better.

How is Mind & Memory Care Different?


All the benefits of Benchmark Assisted Living with a specialized program and
environment for the unique needs of those with memory impairment.

Care Types

Mind & Memory Care Levels

  • Our Mind & Memory Plan is for residents whose care needs consist primarily of cueing and reminders. Residents are appropriate for our Mind & Memory Care Plan if they generally exhibit mild cognitive impairment and no or limited behaviors such as aggression or resistance to care.
  • Our Mind & Memory I Plan is for residents whose care needs consist primarily of a minimal level of physical assistance with activities of daily living, and minimal levels of cognitive impairment.
  • Our Mind & Memory II Plan is for residents whose care needs require a moderate amount of physical assistance with several activities of daily living, and who generally exhibit moderate cognitive impairment.
  • Our Mind & Memory III Plan is for residents whose care needs require a substantial amount of physical assistance with several activities of daily living, and who generally exhibit severe cognitive impairment and/or associated behaviors.
  • Our Mind & Memory IV Plan is for residents who have extensive needs, for example: a need for total care with one or more activities of daily living, or a substantial amount of assistance is warranted on a daily basis.
  • Our Mind & Memory V Plan is for residents who need total assistance with all aspects of care, as well as usage of a mechanical or electrical lift for transfers on an ongoing basis. They may also require extensive emotional/behavioral support.

Personalized, needs-based care to support individual abilities

Our residents have varying levels of memory impairment—from early to late-stage—and many different diagnoses, so our care plans are tailor-made to their needs. We stay a step ahead with a personalized care plan created for each resident and offer supportive services that help them remain empowered.

Our comprehensive program is complemented by medical care overseen by a physician in partnership with the acclaimed Center for Geriatric & Family Psychiatry. A social worker oversees emotional, social, spiritual and intellectual needs with a daily calendar of events to match resident interests. Throughout each day they enjoy innovative pet and doll therapy programs, trips to Hartford area attractions, creative crafts, opportunities to give back and more.
