Memory Care at San Gabriel

A Place to Call Home

At San Gabriel Memory Care, we’ve created a place where residents living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia feel secure, supported, and truly at home. With communities in both Highland and Godfrey, IL, we offer more than just care—we provide a comforting rhythm to daily life.

Residents enjoy private apartments, shared living spaces filled with natural light, and daily routines that bring structure without stress. Whether it’s time spent enjoying the outdoors or engaging in familiar hobbies, every moment is guided by thoughtful programming and compassionate attention.

Our team understands that a memory care community should feel safe and reassuring. At San Gabriel, that’s exactly what we’ve built.

Care That Meets the Moment

Memory care is not one-size-fits-all. We tailor support to meet each resident where they are—whether they need help with daily tasks or assistance navigating more advanced cognitive changes.
Our staff is trained exclusively in memory support, with a focus on communication techniques, redirection strategies, and respectful care. We assist with everything from bathing and dressing to medication management and mobility, always working with kindness and patience.

Care is available around the clock, and supervision is consistent—but never intrusive. We create an environment where residents can move freely and safely, with design features that reduce confusion and promote independence.

Families searching for memory care in Highland, IL, or memory care in Godfrey, IL, will find that both San Gabriel locations are purpose-built, not retrofitted. Every space—from the studio apartments to the activity kitchens—is designed with the needs of memory-impaired adults in mind.

Days with Meaning and Purpose

Each day at San Gabriel is guided by a gentle structure. We blend personal care with familiar routines, using residents’ life stories as a foundation for engagement. Programs are built around individual interests—gardening, art, music, or movement—and tailored to support memory, mood, and connection.

Residents participate in group classes, like strength training and reminiscence-based cognitive activities, as well as quiet, self-directed moments. Whether joining a morning craft session or relaxing in one of our cozy lounge areas, every resident has the freedom to choose how they spend their time.

Mealtimes are served family-style to encourage comfort and familiarity. Our menus are rich with flavor and variety, designed to be both nutritious and appealing. And with consistent dining support, we help each resident enjoy meals with dignity and ease.

A Safe, Thoughtful Environment

Safety and comfort go hand in hand at San Gabriel. Our communities are divided into smaller “neighborhoods” to reduce overstimulation and promote calm. Each neighborhood includes only 17 apartments, along with community kitchens, lounge areas, and outdoor patios that invite residents to enjoy fresh air without restriction.

We’ve eliminated architectural obstacles like dead-end hallways and enclosed our green spaces with subtle, secure boundaries. Our alarmed systems provide peace of mind, while our layouts offer freedom of movement. Natural light, soft color palettes, and familiar household features support orientation and mood throughout the day.

This environment doesn’t just protect—it empowers.

Family Partnership and Peace of Mind

Choosing memory care is never easy. That’s why we see every family as a partner. We work closely with loved ones to understand a resident’s personal history, preferences, and daily rhythms. From move-in through each stage of care, our goal is to create a seamless bridge between past and present.

Our all-inclusive pricing simplifies budgeting and eliminates surprise fees, offering predictability and peace of mind. We can also assist with long-term care insurance questions or point you toward veterans’ benefits and other financial resources.

Most importantly, we encourage families to stay involved—not as caregivers, but as companions. At San Gabriel, your role shifts from managing needs to sharing meaningful moments.
