About Cape Memory Care

The community features amenities like a game room, library, walking paths, and scheduled activities including music programs and movie nights to engage residents.

Cape Memory Care has made clear improvements in recent years, and the impact of its current leadership team is noticeable. The environment feels more stable, and the attention to resident experience has strengthened over time. Being part of a local group can present unique challenges, but in my experience, it often means there's a deeper commitment to doing the work well—and that’s been reflected here.

Great facility and great care.
Yvette Dilallo
I would not recommend this facility. I had two extended family members that had repeated injuries from unattended falls ultimately resulting to there passing. Their clothing and personal items were lost. Very little personal care and their meals didn't meet their needs on many levels. When visiting residents would try to escape. Unfortunately if you have no money this is what you get for end of life care.
