Welcome to Arizona Memory Care in The Cottage
at The Bluffs of Flagstaff
Memory loss-related conditions are a growing public health crisis in Arizona. Alzheimer’s Association statistics show that almost 9 percent of people ages 45 and up have subjective cognitive decline; 150,000 seniors in Arizona ages 65 and over are living with Alzheimer’s.
At The Bluffs of Flagstaff, we believe that the good life for our Alzheimer’s and dementia care residents is found in moments filled with happiness, kindness, purposefulness, and laughter – the kind that makes life worth living. The times that are best enjoyed in the present. Our comprehensive, loving, evidence-based approach to memory care in The Cottage focuses on making every moment count in our residents’ quality of life.
We intentionally keep the number of available rooms in The Cottage low and our caregiver-per-resident ratios high so that all our residents can enjoy warm, attentive, compassionate care in a small, home-like environment. We want our Arizona memory care residents to feel like they’re part of a caring, close-knit community and remind them every day of two things we feel strongly about:
They’re important, and they matter.

The Cottage: Flagstaff Memory Care Activities Focused on Quality of Life
Every member of our passionate team is here to make a difference in the lives of our residents. That’s why all the memory care activity programming in The Cottage has been specifically developed according to the latest scientific research to improve quality of life and slow the progression of Alzheimer’s and dementia. We enrich their lives with sensory engagement, appropriate exercise, and intellectual, vocational, social, spiritual, and stress-reducing activities.
As part of our programming, we immerse our residents in a specialized, evidence-based method of teaching and learning. This helps our compassionate caregivers connect with our memory care residents on their level in a no-judgment zone that emphasizes respect and value. Through this method, our residents participate in activities that help rebuild motor skills and connect them to long-term memory. We also provide opportunities for residents to engage in meaningful, purposeful activities like cleaning, cooking, or sorting – they feel happy, hopeful, helpful, and productive.
