Why Families Choose Hearthside Manor for Memory Care
Specialized Dementia Care You Can Trust
Hearthside Manor is a dedicated memory care community, intentionally designed to support residents living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, while bringing peace of mind to their loved ones.
Individualized Support in a Home-Like Setting
Our four “houses” of nine apartments each feature smaller dining and living rooms for a calmer, more familiar atmosphere. This design often leads to greater comfort and more successful daily experiences for residents with dementia.
On-Site Care from Trusted Providers
We partner with local primary care, physical therapy, dental, podiatry, mobile urgent care, and lab services to visit our community. These relationships mean many healthcare needs can be addressed right here at Hearthside—saving time and reducing trips for families.
Support When Finances Change
We understand that care needs and finances can change over time. If someone moves in paying privately and later qualifies for Medicaid, we work with families with the goal that our caring place can remain their home.
Purposeful Activities Every Day
From pet therapy and live music to scenic shuttle rides, crafts, and Life Skills Stations, our life enrichment program offers activities designed to inspire connection, joy, and purpose—tailored to the unique needs and interests of each resident.

Come See Why Families Fall in Love with Hearthside Manor
The truth is, once people visit, they feel the difference.They see the setting. They meet the team. They feel the warmth. Schedule a tour, sit down for a meal with us, and let the place speak for itself. There’s no pressure—just a chance to find out if this feels like the right next chapter for your family.
We know what this feels like. You want to do the right thing and make a great decision.

We’re here to help you do your best, so you can feel confident moving into this next phase of life.

Pricing Transparency
None of this matters if you can’t afford it. Other websites may post their pricing online, but we believe this creates a misleading picture. This sets false expectations that lead to disappointment when people discover additional costs during their visit. That’s not how we want to start our relationship, and it’s not how we work.
The fact is, every resident has different needs, and we don’t want to give you one price online, then another when you tour the community. So…
Once we assess your loved one’s specific needs, you’ll receive clear monthly pricing that includes:
- Base apartment fee (varies by size and type)
- Personalized care services based on individual needs
- Daily meals, light housekeeping, laundry, and a full calendar of social activities
Three Ways to Take Your Next Step
We’ve done our best to paint a picture of this community, but words can’t give you the feeling of what it’s like to live here. We can’t give you the peaceful feeling of being near the woods or the smell of the nearby water. The best way to know if a community is the right choice for you is to experience its true spirit in person.
Since residents consider the quality of meals one of the most important services we offer, we invite you to join us for a meal (on us) and experience the fare yourself.
