Finding a Houston community that can provide excellent memory care for those living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia can be an overwhelming experience. Preparing yourself with the proper information will make your search much easier.
What is memory care?
Memory care is a specialized service in senior living communities that helps people experiencing Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia continue to safely live a life of purpose and dignity.
What is the benefit of memory care over a nursing home?
With Proveer at Northgate in Houston, TX, residents are encouraged to be active participants in their community. Enormous common areas lead to interactions with others and are less confusing to navigate. Nursing homes may not have these opportunities or activities available. Our modern design is clean, bright, beautiful and soothing to our residents. Cherish is the philosophy that guides our community to celebrate the lives of everyone in our care.
In addition, our team of specially trained associates gets to know each resident personally through daily interaction.

What makes Proveer at Northgate the best choice for Houston families?
Memory care with Proveer at Northgate not only provides personalized service to our residents 24/7, but also supports a transparent interaction with their families. Our commitment to service also comes at a cost-effective pricing structure and is designed for long-term care. We also accept long term care insurance (pending licensure) and veterans aid benefits.
Our community is built to the nines and designed to give residents and their families peace of mind for where they will be living. Leading memory care interior designers, Warner Design Associates mentions, “The most important aspect of design is to make the resident feel at home. We recommend creating a space that stimulates the mind, invites positivity, and makes the resident feel that they are in a comfortable, familiar place.”
This ties in to our unique set-up of essentially four buildings under one roof. With the same team members serving each section daily, residents receive consistency and trust in the caregivers they see every day. We also provide a quarter of our building to community partners such as the Silver Sneakers program and Heart to Heart Hospice to support more levels of care.
