Memory Care in Godfrey, IL
A Safe, Familiar Place to Call Home
At San Gabriel Memory Care in Godfrey, IL, we provide more than housing and support—we create a sense of belonging for individuals living with Alzheimer’s or dementia. From the moment residents arrive, they’re welcomed into a warm and steady environment built entirely around their needs.
Our Godfrey location features private apartments, light-filled common areas, and secure outdoor spaces where residents can move freely and safely. Each day follows a familiar rhythm that brings comfort and structure without overwhelming the senses. This is a place where residents feel at ease, families feel supported, and care feels personal.
Specialized Care, Delivered with Respect
Memory care at San Gabriel is never one-size-fits-all. Our Godfrey team is trained exclusively in dementia support, and every element of our care model is tailored to meet cognitive and emotional needs.
Staff members assist with bathing, dressing, dining, and medication management, always with patience and kindness. We offer round-the-clock supervision that prioritizes both safety and autonomy. Residents are free to explore their surroundings, with built-in safeguards that protect them without confining them.
We recognize that dementia affects more than memory. Our approach addresses mood changes, communication shifts, and behavioral patterns with empathy and skill. The result is care that adapts to each person’s stage and style—not just their diagnosis.
Purposeful Days, Familiar Routines
A sense of purpose makes a day feel meaningful. At San Gabriel Godfrey, we help residents maintain that sense through familiar activities, personal connections, and daily rhythms rooted in who they are.
Each resident’s preferences guide their engagement. Some join in group movement classes or music sessions. Others find comfort in quieter pursuits like painting, sorting, or reminiscing with photos. Our programs include cognitive stimulation, light physical fitness, and social opportunities—all structured to reduce stress and promote well-being.
Dining is a central part of our day. We serve three home-cooked meals, family-style, in calm and welcoming spaces. Residents benefit from consistent seating, familiar foods, and supportive guidance when needed. These mealtimes often bring joy, comfort, and moments of shared connection.
Designed with Memory in Mind
Our Godfrey memory care community was built from the ground up for dementia support. Every detail—from the architecture to the color palette—serves a purpose.
Residents live in small “neighborhoods” of no more than 17 apartments. This smaller scale reduces confusion and helps build community. Each neighborhood includes a shared kitchen, inviting lounge spaces, and access to cheerfully landscaped, enclosed patios.
The layout avoids long corridors and dead ends that can increase agitation. Instead, we offer open pathways, soft lighting, and spaces that feel intuitive and welcoming. Even safety systems are thoughtfully integrated to allow residents freedom of movement with gentle oversight.
At San Gabriel, the design isn’t an afterthought. It’s part of the care.
Partnering with Families
We understand the decision to move a loved one into memory care is never simple. That’s why we view families as partners in care. At our Godfrey location, we work closely with loved ones to understand life stories, routines, and values—details that help us care for the whole person, not just the symptoms of memory loss.
We maintain open communication and invite families to stay as involved as they choose. Whether visiting for a meal, joining an activity, or simply spending time together, we want every family to feel welcome and supported.
San Gabriel offers month-to-month leasing and all-inclusive pricing to simplify planning. We can also guide you through options like long-term care insurance or available veterans’ benefits. Financial clarity is part of our commitment to making memory care more manageable for everyone involved.
