Health & Memory Care
Quality Care & Peace of Mind
We help residents in our memory care communities enjoy life to its fullest, while our outpatient services help residents regain health and well-being, whether that means recovering from surgery, tending to an injury, relearning skills or offering long-term support.
Memory Care
Maintaining Dignity and Purpose
The Dogwood Memory Care Center at Friendship Salem Terrace offers a comforting option for residents experiencing Alzheimer’s or in need of memory care. Since opening in 2010, Dogwood Memory Care Center has been awarded and complimented for its design, functionality, and care of Alzheimer’s and dementia residents. Designed with the safety and serenity of the residents in mind, each room features a private half-bath, and dressing and sitting areas. In addition, individual memory boxes to display mementos and special photographs are located outside of each resident’s door. A secure, outdoor walking garden provides residents with a sense of independence and an opportunity for physical exercise and mental stimulation. All activities are planned by a specially trained activities director, focusing on the needs of our residents.
Respite care is also available for individuals needing memory care. Call us at 540.444.0343, and we will be happy to learn more about your needs and how we may be able to help.
