James L. West Center for Dementia Care provides individualized memory care and support to enhance the quality and dignity of each person’s life throughout the course of the disease process.
A pioneer from its inception, the James L. West Center remains true to its original mission to reach far beyond simple housing for persons living with all types of dementia disorders.
We are dedicated to advancing the art and science of dementia care — daring to innovate and eager to share. There is a long time and a lot of life to live between the typical diagnosis of dementia and death from the disease. We dedicate our services to helping families live well all along the way.
As an innovator in the field of dementia care, our team of skilled, compassionate care partners relies on evidence-based practices to provide those living with dementia the highest quality of life through every stage of the disease process.
For more than 30 years, our team has worked to align our memory care strategies with what is most beneficial to each individual in our care.
The James L. West team offers help and hope – for those already affected by dementia and for those who may be in the future – through Residential and Respite Care, the Senior Day Program, Specialized Short-Term Rehabilitation and free Dementia and Caregiver Education classes offered in both English and Spanish.
Expert, compassionate care and memory support with dignified, life-enhancing activities and dementia-specific residences designed for the stages of the disease process.
