Our signature Learned Environment℠ program goes beyond traditional memory care. Every day, residents actively engage their minds through music, art, and cultural discovery by learning instruments, exploring new art mediums, experiencing the world through language and culture, and way more. This is a daily, purposeful approach to stimulating the mind and strengthening cognitive function.
Unlike large corporate senior living chains, The Cordwainer is owned and operated by the same family who built it. Tamilyn and Bodo are present in the community and personally invested in the wellbeing of every resident and every family. Decisions here are made with care and long-term horizon thinking, not corporate metrics. When families choose The Cordwainer, they are choosing a team that leads with heart and mind.
From our award-winning biophilic moss wall to our lush indoor sensory garden where flowing water, birdsong, and an abundance of living plants create a place of natural calm. Every detail of The Cordwainer was designed to be a loving home to provide people needing memory care purpose and joy each day.
“Cordwainer staff are so helpful and friendly that it truly feels like home for them. They also do a wonderful job of keeping me informed of my parents activities and status.
I’m thrilled and amazed at the stimulating curriculum and the way my parents are kept engaged every day. They have created something really special here!”

“The Cordwainer has been a gift to our mother and our family. We visited many residences for memory care and The Cordwainer was unsurpassed for cleanliness and care. Now that our mother has been there for six months, we know the real gem is the staff. The people who manage and care for the residents are truly exceptional and happy to be working there. It feels like a family. We can’t recommended it enough.”

“The Cordwainer is a truly magical place. They made my father feel at home, almost immediately, and he is thriving. He went from sitting home alone to participating in countless activities, outings, conversing, and has his spark back. I could not be happier with the care he is receiving.”

“I could not recommend the Cordwainer enough. From the moment we moved my grandmother in we were at peace knowing she was not only well taken care of, but also cared about by staff and residents alike. She was happy to be there. Even after her passing we continued to receive support from all the staff. We are thankful for everyone at the Cordwainer for being so caring and supportive throughout the years.”
