The Atrium is a memory care community situated on a picturesque wooded lot in the northeast area of Rockford. This residence is purposefully designed to provide a safe, comfortable, and home-like environment for individuals living with dementia or memory loss. The entire facility is secured with fencing and a locked gate, ensuring residents can move about freely within the community while remaining safe at all times. The outdoor gardens and neat courtyard offer beautiful views and cultivated spaces where residents can relax and enjoy nature in a secure setting.
The Atrium is dedicated exclusively to memory care, supporting residents with a compassionate approach that values dignity, independence, and personal fulfillment. The care philosophy at The Atrium embraces a Montessori-based programming model, engaging residents in a variety of stimulating activities. Daily schedules include art programs, exercise routines, music sessions, and an array of other structured activities throughout the seven days of the week. This approach fosters an environment where residents are encouraged to participate according to their interests and abilities.
Accommodations at The Atrium are designed to be both private and comfortable. Residents can choose from studio or one-bedroom apartments, each featuring a small living area, bedroom, and private bath.
