Anyone living with the challenges of memory impairment, dementia, or Alzheimer’s disease needs special attention and care that goes beyond just Assisted Living. The caliber of care you or a loved one receive at The Pinnacle will be the finest you’ll find anywhere in Montgomery County, Maryland. Our caregivers take pride in helping create the very best experiences possible, because we know those living with memory loss, dementia, or Alzheimer’s deserve nothing less.
At most communities, the cost of Memory Care is added above and beyond an entrance fee and a base rate. At The Pinnacle, a single monthly lease payment covers housing, services, dining, amenities, and programming, as well as whatever level of Memory Care services are needed. Considering the progressive nature of Alzheimer’s disease as an example, you can see how having an all-inclusive rate offers tremendous value and peace of mind.
Our Memory Care team members receive certified training in Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care®, a proven method to enhance the quality of life and relationships of those living with brain change.
The Pinnacle will have 28 Memory Care residences located on our 5th and 6th floors.
