The difference between memory care and assisted living is the level of care and supervision provided:

• Memory care is designed for seniors with Alzheimer’s disease or other cognitive impairments. It offers 24/7 support from dementia-trained caregivers in a secure environment with structured daily routines that promote safety, engagement, and well-being.
• Assisted living is designed for seniors who need help with daily activities – such as bathing, dressing, or medication management – while encouraging independence. It provides a more flexible, less structured environment where residents can maintain control of their own schedules and lifestyles.

Memory care at Springpoint Living at Manalapan is centered on promoting overall wellness, safety, and meaningful engagement for residents with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Through Springpoint’s exclusive Connections program, a research-based approach to dementia care, the community provides personalized care focused on redirection, structure, and emotional well-being.

Our dementia-trained team implements specialized programming including reminiscence therapy, sensory activities, music therapy, and therapeutic horticulture through our Eldergrow™ partnership. Residents benefit from daily routines designed to create comfort and familiarity, along with life-enriching amenities that encourage socialization, dignity, and connection – helping each individual experience more purposeful and fulfilling days.
