Innovative, compassionate care for those living with dementia
A diagnosis of dementia is challenging both for the individual and those who care about them. That’s why at Legacy Pointe at UCF, our care team involves families in the process of developing care plans for our memory support residents. While our staff is trained in dementia care and dedicated to delivering the most compassionate, personalized care possible, nobody knows our residents like family, and those insights are key to better understanding the life story of each person we are so privileged to serve.
Direct admission to memory support is available. Call (407) 917-6418 for more information.

A safe, stimulating atmosphere
A bedrock principle of our memory care program is ensuring the safety of each resident, always. Our secure memory care area offers its own dedicated dining room and common areas, a beautiful garden area, and round-the-clock care from staff trained in dementia care.
But safety is just the start. Our wonderful residents enjoy a variety of fun activities designed to entertain, encourage social interaction, and stimulate memory and cognitive function. There are art classes, dedicated activity stations, a living room area with TV, and a deep schedule of life enrichment programs that make each day fun for everyone.

Q: What’s the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s disease?
A: Dementia refers to the overall loss of cognitive function (thinking, reasoning, and memory, primarily) that is severe enough to affect daily functioning. This group of symptoms is not a disease per se, but may accompany certain diseases or conditions. Dementia is irreversible when caused by disease or certain injuries. It may be partially or fully reversible when caused by drugs, alcohol, depression, or imbalances in certain substances, such as hormones or vitamins. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. It’s a progressive, degenerative disease of the brain, characterized by loss of function and death of nerve cells in several brain areas. In turn, this can lead to loss of recent memories and new learning, and eventually old memories, too.
