When you’re choosing a memory care community for your loved one, the living space matters. It’s where they’ll wake up each morning, where they’ll return after activities, where they’ll find comfort and familiarity.
At The Cordwainer, our memory care suites are designed with one goal in mind: helping residents feel at home while providing the safety features and thoughtful details that support individuals living with dementia.
Located in Norwell, Massachusetts, our community offers private and companion memory care apartments just steps from common areas, dining, and daily programming. Every suite is filled with natural light shining in through extra-large European windows, designed with calming finishes, and equipped with features that encourage independence and ease.
We offer two suite options to accommodate different needs and preferences. Both are located on our two residential floors, with direct access to community spaces for activities, relaxation, and social connection.
354–384 square feet
Our private suites are ideal for residents who value personal space and a quiet retreat. Each suite offers a private bedroom, bathroom, and living area in a compact, comfortable layout.
510–529 square feet
For residents who enjoy companionship, our companion suites offer shared living with built-in privacy. Each suite includes two private bedrooms, a shared sitting area, and a shared bathroom. This option can be a good fit for those who thrive on social connection or for family members who wish to live near each other.
Our memory care apartments were purpose-built for individuals living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Every element of our assisted living floor plans – spatial flow, natural lighting, calming finishes, and intuitive design – works in harmony to reduce confusion, support independence, and create a true sense of home.
Natural Light and Calming Finishes Oversized European windows bring abundant natural light into each suite, with views into the peaceful woods surrounding our community. Interior finishes include natural wood and soft textures that create a warm, home-like atmosphere.
Bathroom Safety Features Bathrooms are designed for accessibility and ease. Features include curbless showers with trench drains for barrier-free entry, three grab bars and a pull-down seat in the shower, comfort-height toilets with hinged support rails, extra-wide doorways, and tilting mirrors that adjust to each resident’s preference.
Visual Cues for Orientation Color contrast throughout each suite helps residents navigate their space with confidence. Bathroom sinks, countertops, and toilet seats are designed in contrasting colors for easy recognition. Amber lighting over the toilet stays on at night to support safe orientation.
Security and Peace of Mind Each suite includes an emergency call system so help is always close by. Our team is available around the clock.
Beyond the individual suites, our community layout is designed to make daily life easier and more enjoyable for residents with dementia.
Suites open directly onto community spaces, so residents don’t have to navigate long hallways to reach activities, meals, or social areas. The open floor plan encourages movement and connection while reducing confusion.
Common areas include a country-style open kitchen where residents can watch meals being prepared, multiple lounges for quiet relaxation or conversation, and dedicated spaces for art, music, fitness, and performances.
Deciding between a private or companion suite depends on your loved one’s personality and needs.
Private suites work well for individuals who prefer solitude, need a calm environment to manage anxiety, or simply feel most comfortable with their own space.
Companion suites can be a great fit for those who enjoy being around others, benefit from peer interaction, or want to share a space with a spouse or sibling.
Our team is happy to discuss which option might be best for your loved one. We can also arrange a tour so you can see the suites in person and get a feel for daily life here.
The best way to understand our memory care suites and floor plans is to visit in person. We’d love to show you around and answer any questions about life at The Cordwainer.
