Willow Fork Alzheimer's Special Care Center

Willow Fork Alzheimer’s Special Care Center is located in picturesque Katy, Texas, a suburb of Houston. 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.

People living with memory loss face greater challenges than most of us. Being unable to remember life’s most cherished moments is a difficult path, but not a hopeless one. JEA Senior Living recognizes that these individuals haven’t lost the capacity to experience joy and are able to continue leading meaningful lives.

That’s the basis for our Meaningful Moments program. This unique approach to caring for those with dementia goes beyond merely making these individuals safe and comfortable. It’s a family-centered concept that starts by learning everything there is to know about our residents – their passions, achievements, careers, family, hobbies and interests. This allows our staff to create moments of real meaning that engage our residents emotionally, physically, mentally, socially and spiritually.

It also helps bond caregivers to the resident, so they are able to see more than their current condition and recognize them for the singular and exceptional person they are. By creating this profound connection, Meaningful Moments establishes a strong foundation of trust and well-being from which residents are able to create new memories and thrive in an environment of exceptional care.

The staff at Willow Fork incorporates each resident’s life story into their personalized daily care plan. Utilizing our distinctive Meaningful Moments approach, our team provides a warm and meaningful assisted living environment that includes family and friends. We welcome and encourage you to join us in the many activities we offer at Willow Fork Alzheimer’s Special Care Center.

At Willow Fork, we keep the emotional needs and feelings of your loved one at the very center of what we do. 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. We start by gathering the life story of each individual by learning about preferences, likes, dislikes and cherished memories. Adding details and preferences from the residents’ life stories into their day we can build comfort and a sense of meaning for each resident. The result is a familiar atmosphere for your loved one to enjoy.

Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s is a demanding role. For caregivers who need some time to run errands, take care of their own health needs, or just need a break to rejuvenate, Willow Fork provides the same compassionate care to our temporary residents as those who call us their home. Arranged into private, shared and semiprivate accommodations, our assisted living environment and caring staff provide meaningful moments to each resident. If you loved one needs a temporary home while recovering from an injury or hospitalization, we assist families through the recovery process and allow for caregiver relief. We are committed to honoring the experience of aging by ensuring that each resident’s life story is incorporated into their individual respite care design.
