Choosing a memory care community is one of the most important decisions a family can make. Amenities matter, but not just for comfort. The right environment can reduce anxiety, support cognitive function, and help your loved one maintain a sense of purpose and identity.
Life at The Cordwainer extends well beyond your loved one’s apartment. Our community was designed as a living, breathing environment where nature, art, and purposeful design come together to create spaces that calm, engage, and inspire.
A Biophilic Haven
At the heart of The Cordwainer is our stunning, award-winning two-story indoor sensory garden, bathed in natural light from an expansive skylight above. Live trees, vibrant plants, and fresh flowers create an oasis where residents gather to relax, converse, and connect. The gentle sounds of birds chirping and water bubbling from our indoor water feature transform this space into a peaceful retreat—a place that soothes the mind and lifts the spirit.
Our living moss wall and outdoor sensory gardens further our commitment to bringing nature indoors, engaging all five senses and providing calming environments that support emotional well-being.
Interactive Design Throughout
Art isn’t just something to look at here—it’s something to touch, play with, and explore. A wall-mounted xylophone invites spontaneous music-making, while interactive art installations throughout the community encourage residents to engage physically and creatively. Our Tovertafel system projects interactive light games onto tables, sparking playful cognitive engagement and social connection.
Spaces for Performance, Creativity, and Connection
Our performance center hosts live music, theatrical productions, movie nights, and community gatherings—a place where residents shine. The art room provides space for painting, crafting, and creative expression, while comfortable lounges offer quiet spots for conversation and relaxation.
Indoor and Outdoor Living
Residents enjoy access to a bright sunroom, a second-floor outdoor terrace with fresh air and views, and multiple gathering spaces designed for both structured activities and spontaneous moments of joy.
Wellness and Rejuvenation
Our rejuvenation lounge offers wellness services in a spa-like setting, while gentle fitness classes keep residents active and strong. Clean air technology throughout the building ensures a healthy environment for everyone.
Designed for Families Too
We know families are an essential part of life at The Cordwainer. Our private family suite features a full kitchen, dining area, and living room—perfect for intimate visits, holiday celebrations, or special occasions. Our resource center provides educational materials and support group space, and our on-site barbershop and salon make it easy to care for your loved one without leaving the community.
Modern Conveniences
High-speed fiber-optic internet keeps residents and families connected, while electric vehicle charging stations welcome eco-conscious visitors and team members.
At The Cordwainer, every space is intentional. Every detail matters. And every day, residents experience an environment designed not just for safety, but for living fully.
Food is more than nutrition. It’s comfort, routine, and connection. Our approach to memory care dining reflects that.
The Cordwainer features an open country kitchen where residents can watch meals being prepared. The sights, sounds, and smells of cooking stimulate appetite and create a sense of anticipation. For individuals with dementia, this sensory engagement can make mealtimes more enjoyable and encourage better eating.
Our culinary team prepares three chef-crafted meals each day using fresh ingredients. Menus are designed with brain health in mind, using Mediterranean Diet ingredients and residents have access to healthy snacks anytime. Meals are served in a warm, social dining room that encourages conversation and connection.
For residents with changing needs, our team provides assistance with eating and can accommodate dietary restrictions or preferences.
Safety is foundational to everything we do. The Cordwainer is designed as a secure dementia care community, with features that protect residents while preserving their dignity and freedom of movement.
Two Secure Neighborhoods Our community is organized into two secure residential neighborhoods, allowing residents to move freely within a safe, monitored environment.
Emergency Systems An emergency call and response system is accessible throughout the community. CCTV cameras monitor all common areas, and our team is available 24 hours a day.
Backup Power A 400 KW emergency generator ensures continuous power in the event of an outage, so care is never interrupted.

The health of our residents and staff is a top priority. The Cordwainer was built with advanced systems to maintain a clean, healthy environment.
100% Outside Air Ventilation Unlike many buildings that recirculate air, our system brings in 100% fresh outside air and exhausts all indoor air. Nothing is recirculated, reducing the spread of airborne particles.
Natural Cross-Ventilation Ceiling-high operable windows at both ends of the living and dining areas allow for natural airflow when weather permits.
Touchless Features and Non-Porous Surfaces Common areas include touchless fixtures and non-porous countertops that are easy to sanitize. Hand sanitizing stations are available throughout the building.
Minimal Carpeting Carpeting is used sparingly as an infection-control strategy, reducing the risk of microbial buildup.
The best way to experience our community is in person. Schedule a visit to see our senior living amenities, meet our team, and learn how The Cordwainer supports residents and families.
