Ortega Gardens Alzheimer's Special Care Center

Ortega Gardens Alzheimer's Special Care Center is a first-class assisted living community in Jacksonville, Florida. It is within picturesque Duval County which is part of the Sunshine State.

Ortega Gardens Alzheimer's Special Care Center is located in beautiful Jacksonville, Florida, with lots of sunshine, beaches and southern hospitality. We understand that those living with memory loss are still able to lead fulfilling lives. We work diligently every day to ensure that those in our care are able to experience love, laughter, comfort and security.

What sets Ortega Gardens apart from other memory care communities is its Meaningful Moments® program. This unique approach to caring for those with dementia goes beyond merely making our residents safe and comfortable. It starts by learning everything there is to know about those entrusted in our care – their passions, achievements, careers, family, hobbies and interests. This allows Ortega Gardens staff members to develop an individualized plan of care designed around their specific life story, creating moments of delight, wonder and meaning for the residents in their care each and every day.

Our Meaningful Moments program is built around the premise that our capacity to enjoy life remains intact, even when memories fade. The foundation of this program is learning all we can about our residents – from their passions to what brings them joy. From this foundation, we create an individualized plan of care that is centered around their personal desires and needs.

Our Meaningful Moments program incorporates past patterns and routines into the life of each resident to ensure the highest quality of life possible. This exclusive program is specifically designed to help meet the needs of residents with memory loss.
