Memorable Care Through Distinctive Design
Each Distinctive Memory Care community is purposefully designed and built—every detail aimed at fashioning environments, rooms, and experiences that ignite happiness through reminiscence and specialized care.
Our Inspiration
Those who call Koelsch home are the inspiration for everything we create. Extra-wide hallways for barrier-free strolls, multiple dining experiences to accommodate care needs, sun-filled verandas, and lush garden terraces to explore; our ladies and gentlemen feel a unique sense of belonging everywhere they go.
Reminiscence Sparking Memories
Intentionally placed time-specific elements adorn our community, pointing back to local history and scenic experiences–engaging residents at every turn. A lady or gentlemen encounters a curio cabinet filled with memorable items from their teenage years or images of victory from their alma mater from decades past–each kindling unique memories of days gone by.
Historical Surprises® are a staple within Koelsch memory care.
Extra Wide Hallways
Our ladies and gentlemen enjoy staying on the move. With over 60 years serving seniors we have experienced this first hand, over and over. Utilizing our experience, we build all our memory care communities with extra-wide hallways to ensure each lady and gentleman can stroll throughout the community with ease. This may seem like a small thing to most; but to our residents this is very important–the details matter.
Shadow Boxes
Displayed outside of every suite is a shadow box that showcases each person’s life story. Photographs, handwritten letters or postcards, trinkets and collectibles reminiscent of past experience make it easy for family, visitors, and resident assistants to connect personally with each resident.
Historical Surprises
Throughout our community, secured curio cabinets exhibit small curiosities to stimulate memories of times past. Every item is specifically chosen and placed with care. These local and historical pieces encourage our ladies and gentlemen to revisit memories.
Club Room
Residents congregate to play games like Jenga and Scrabble, watch local and national sports while cheering on their teams with spirited rivalry, and relive stories of youthful shenanigans in our Club Room—where camaraderie inspires memory through friendship.
Living Room
Individuals gather with each other and their visitors to watch a favorite show or cozy up with a good book beside the fire. Our living room ignites familial nostalgia and comfort, inspiring memories and creating a sense of belonging—of being home.
Dining
Delectable meals are served three times a day in our two dining rooms—the Rose and the Ivy. With a balanced breakfast, light lunch, and hearty dinner, all of our residents nurture their health and energy so they can enjoy daily activities with friends.
Interior Courtyard
Our community features a safe and fully-contained courtyard. Vegetable and flower gardening or quiet meditation provide solace and delight our ladies and gentlemen while they enjoy the sounds of the outdoors and a beautiful garden of flowers.
Fountain
Nothing soothes quite like the sounds of nature. Our friends can sit beside the bubbling water fountain in our Interior Courtyard and feel a sense of peace while interacting with other newfound pals and neighbors enjoying the serenity of the fountain.
Garden Beds
By providing hands-on gardening experiences, residents have access to consistent interaction with nature that will boost both their creativity and their health. Residents will be inspired to plant flowers in our community garden beds and watch them grow as they nurture their seeds with light and love.
Salon & Spa
Residents are pampered in our onsite salon, which is purposefully decorated with images of Hollywood icons from their era. It’s no secret that a good hair day can make all the difference and that’s just what our ladies and gentlemen will receive.
Sunroom – Veranda
No matter the weather, residents can find reprieve in our SunRoom. It’s never been more relaxing to be inside and outside at the same time. Fresh air pours in through secure, open windows with rocking chairs beckoning one to have a seat, tell a tale, and stay awhile.
Resident Service Desk
The Resident Service Desk, situated in the center of our community, provides an open and welcoming space for our resident assistants to work on personalized care plans while staying connected and accessible to our residents.
Resident Suites

These individuals enjoy the same amenities and experience the same level of care as their neighboring pals next door and down the hall. With a comfortable seating area for visitors in their suite, friends and family can easily spend quality alone time with their loved one.
Shared Suite

Putting Security First
Our communities combine advanced safety systems with an engaging environment that focuses on security. Everything we do puts safety first and is tensioned with a philosophy grounded in providing autonomy for our ladies and gentlemen.
Motion Sensors
If there is movement at any hour, our 24/7 staff is alerted. This alert allows us to maintain a resident’s privacy while also caring for them quickly whenever needed.
Pull Cord
Throughout the community are lengthy pull cords that can be reached while standing or sitting to alert caregivers to a resident’s exact location and notify our staff.
Window Sensor
Security is paramount. Window sensors are a great way to notify our staff around the clock of any changes. Once again, these notifications are tied into our call center to ensure a quick response.
Call Panel
A safe living experience is top-of-mind at Koelsch. Our Call Panel is a safety feature designed to support residents with memory loss. Notifiers and sensors are placed throughout resident living spaces to assist in detecting when a resident is unsafe and alerting the appropriate care staff.
