When someone you love is living with dementia, finding the right care matters deeply. You want a place where they’ll be safe, supported, and treated with dignity. Not just looked after, but truly known as an individual.
The Cordwainer is a memory care facility in Norwell, Massachusetts, designed exclusively for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

At The Cordwainer, we redefine what memory care services mean by combining comfort, compassionate care and purposeful living within an extraordinarily aesthetic surrounding. Our specialized approach ensures that each resident receives the highest level of personalized attention in an inclusive environment.
Our memory care center services explicitly support seniors with dementia. We assist with activities of daily living, ensuring a dignified and enriching experience.
Our memory care services are designed to address every aspect of daily life, so residents can focus on what matters most: connection, engagement, and well-being.
Personal Care and Support Nurse specialists are available to oversee health needs, and our Care Associates receive specialized training in dementia care. We provide medication management, coordinate with physicians and specialists, and maintain an emergency call system throughout the community. Families can rest easier knowing their loved one’s health is monitored by professionals who understand the complexities of dementia.
Daily Living and Comfort Residents receive assistance with all activities of daily living, delivered with patience and respect for their independence. Our community includes housekeeping and personal laundry services, so residents and families can focus on time together rather than chores.
Nutrition and Dining Our culinary team prepares three chef-crafted meals each day, incorporating the Mediterranean diet, with brain-healthy snacks available anytime. Meals are served in an open dining room where residents can watch food being prepared, a sensory experience that encourages appetite and engagement.
Enrichment and Activity Every day at The Cordwainer includes opportunities for meaningful activity. Our signature program, The Learned Environment℠, offers evidence-based engagement through art, music, and language, approaches shown to support cognitive function and emotional well-being.
Beyond structured programming, residents enjoy community outings, wellness and exercise programs, and social gatherings designed to foster connection.
We believe families navigating dementia have enough to manage without worrying about surprise fees. The Cordwainer offers all-inclusive memory care assisted living, meaning the services your loved one needs are included in one monthly rate.
This covers personal support, daily care, meals, housekeeping, activities, and more. When care needs change, we adapt without families having to renegotiate or face unexpected charges. It’s a simpler, more transparent approach that lets you focus on your loved one rather than logistics.
The quality of any memory care facility comes down to its people. At The Cordwainer, our staff members are selected not only for their skills but for their compassion and patience. Every team member, from our nurses to our dining staff, receives specialized training in dementia care.
This means understanding how to communicate with someone experiencing memory loss, how to respond to moments of confusion or frustration with calm reassurance, and how to create an environment where residents feel safe and valued. It also means recognizing that family members need support too, and being a resource for the questions and emotions that come with this journey.

Our location offers easy access for family visits, and we encourage loved ones to be as involved as they’d like, whether that means joining activities, sharing meals, or simply spending quiet time together.
