Specialized Memory Care and Support for Seniors
Providing the support your loved ones need
Deciding to move a loved one into a community that is equipped to provide them the care they need is an incredibly difficult decision. Providing them with expert support in a welcoming environment is the best gift you can give them.
There are many options out there designed for your loved one to thrive such as Memory Care communities, Nursing Homes and Long Term Care services. It’s important to understand what each type of supportive environment offers to make the best decision for your loved one. While these all offer comprehensive care, disabled senior support, supervision and all-inclusive meals, there are a few key differences that we explore below.

Cogir was a godsend for our family. We looked at multiple other facilities. After spending 20 minutes visiting, we knew this was the right place for our mom. The staff was so helpful and friendly from the time we drove up to move her in. During my mom’s stay, the staff was amazing. Everyone, including the housekeeping staff were so friendly and accommodating. It’s not overcrowded and is clean. I highly recommend Cogir.
