Memory Care refers to a structured residential setting designed to support those living with dementia. Dementia care is a broader term that can be provided in different settings, including at home, in assisted living, or in dedicated Memory Care programs. Memory Care at The Gallery at Port Orange offers secure spaces, specialized staff, and programs created specifically for people living with dementia.

Monthly rates include assistance with daily living activities, 24/7 staff support, medication management, therapeutic programming, meals, housekeeping, laundry, transportation, and access to secure indoor and outdoor spaces. Residents also enjoy salon services, social programs, and enrichment activities designed to support wellbeing.

In our Memory Care neighborhood, we prioritize safety, dignity, and continuity of care — especially when severe weather like hurricanes strike. To reduce confusion or anxiety, emergency alarms in Memory Care do not sound directly in resident rooms at the first trigger. Instead, alerts first go to team-specific stations in hallways and staff areas. Only if an event is confirmed as a true emergency do alarms extend more broadly — ensuring residents are protected without unnecessary distress. Our approach includes:

• Dedicated backup systems: We maintain enhanced life safety generators (up to 96 hours of backup power) so essential services — like climate control, lighting, and kitchen operations — continue even during outages.
  
• Secured, supportive environment: Our memory care neighborhoods are purposefully designed with gathering spaces and safety features that help residents remain comfortable, familiar, and secure in place.
  
• Personalized care plans: Every memory care resident has an individualized emergency plan that accounts for mobility limitations, communication preferences, and cognitive needs — ensuring staff know how best to guide, comfort, and assist each person in the event of a storm.
  
• Food, water & medication support: We stock ample food, water, and medical supplies so meals, hydration, and essential medications remain uninterrupted — even when community operations are stressed.
• Reliable family communication: Our memory care teams are trained to keep families informed at every stage — before, during, and after any weather event. This includes structured updates about conditions, plans, and the well-being of their loved ones.
