Mom was only there for 4 months. She passed away after a cancer diagnosis in October. The director and nurses were extremely kind and kept me informed of issues with mom's health & welfare. The entire staff was caring and I felt totally confident that mom was well taken care of.

About the facility
South Mountain Memory Care

South Mountain Memory Care was built on the “Small House” concept. This concept has been found to be most the most successful environment for those with memory issues in that it creates a sense of home, confidence of surroundings, and ultimately happiness with residents.
Research indicates that residents in a “Small House” are more socially engaged and display fewer aggressive behaviors, than residents in larger settings. The care is more personalized since we have fewer residents and the same number of care staff as a larger setting.
Other features at our Community include a secure courtyard, general store, large front porch, onsite rehab, and beauty salon. Come see the difference a Small House makes.

Anna's Stay

My Mother has been a resident at South Mountain for 2 months now. Every time we come to visit her, she tells us how nice the place is, how clean it is, how good the food is and how she looks every day for something to be wrong with it, but she cannot find anything. If you knew my Mother you would know she definitely means that!! The staff is always smiling, friendly, courteous and helpful. If you have any questions everyone is there to help. I am very pleased with our decision in choosing South Mountain for her care.

Safe place for mom

When looking to move my mom from a facility in Florida, a long-time family friend recommended looking here, as her mom had been a resident. The room space was important to my mom, and they had a nice sunny room. The staff is the most important to me, and it seems there is very little turnover here. They have been able to get mom to activities every day, when at previous location she sat alone many times. They have a remarkable way of being patient! I am a caregiver to my wife and it's very stress relieving to know mom is ok, as I cannot check in on mom every day. The staff has been very communicative when mom has had issues, and I appreciate them calling for even the smallest things.

Feels like home

Having to place Mom in Memory Care was one of the most difficult decisions we’ve ever had to make. South Mountain Memory Care made the adjustment a lot easier. The small, clean, homey community feels like family and we always feel welcome when visiting. We’re even getting to know some of the other residents and their families, which can be an amazing support. The staff knows the residents and their needs on a more personal level because of the smaller size of the facility. When we have questions or concerns, nothing goes unanswered. We like that Mom can move around inside the building freely and safely when she wants to. They have the residents best interest at heart. I would highly recommend checking into South Mountain Memory Care for your loved one.

Wonderful Community

My mom lives at South Mountain Memory Care and most everything has been great for her at this facility. The staff are all very kind, caring and helpful. The facility is very clean and quiet. You can call or visit any time. Communication with the family from the staff and the in house physician is excellent. I would most definitely recommend South Mountain Memory Care to others. This facility is the best one in the area and I now have peace of mind that my mom is being cared for in a dignified way.

A Home Away From Home

When I was searching for a memory care facility for my mother, I wanted a small community where she wouldn’t get lost. South Mountain is that and so much more. The staff to resident ratio is much higher than other communities, so it has more of a family feel. The staff is very caring and they keep my mother busy with various activities. She has her own room and the meals are delicious! I can never thank South Mountain enough for brightening my mother’s quality of life. She is happy and safe and that is quite a blessing. Thank you!

I cannot put into words my appreciation for this community. My mothers diagnosis occurred during 2020, SMME evaluated, treated and admitted her and nursed her back to health both physically and socially. Every staff member is kind, compassionate, friendly and most of all caring. I am truly thankful for this special place and its staff every day

Just Like Home

To date, Mom has been cared for 18 months at SMMC and I notice an improvement in her mental health. She has made friends with the other residents and their daily activities help keep her sharp. The meals are delicious along with the snacks twice a day. The facility is so clean and smells nice. Mom really enjoys living there and now calls it home. The caregivers truly treat everyone like family. If you are looking for the best possible care for your loved one with dementia, then SMMC is the place for you.
