Expertise You Can See and Feel

Parc Provence was intentionally developed as a community dedicated solely to memory care. From the beginning the goal was to design an environment and model of care that would elevate quality of life for those living with dementia.

Residents benefit from a model that brings medical leadership, consistent staffing, and deep expertise together to create a safe and supportive environment. Our interdisciplinary team of licensed nurses onsite 24/7, dementia-trained caregivers, and specialists in physical, occupational, and speech therapy, ensures that families can trust the care their loved one receives.

Our village-style design, household environments, and specialized safety features were shaped by extensive research into the cognitive, emotional, and physical needs of residents. Five distinct households provide the comfort and rhythm of home and supports each resident’s physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being. Residents are encouraged to explore freely within a beautifully crafted, secure settings complete with kitchens, living rooms, dining spaces, laundry rooms, and charming porches that open to secure courtyards.
