Memory Care

Memory care with an emphasis on familiarity, comfort and wellbeing

Navigate Memory Care is an experience like no other. With high-end features seamlessly integrated into intentional planning and design, CopperWood at Prairie Trail’s memory care community is exclusively developed for those with memory-related conditions. It’s a community where luxury meets wellness. A destination where residents lead rewarding and enriching lives where we prioritize mind, body and spirit. This is Navigate Memory Care at CopperWood.

Navigate Memory Care strives to be your road map to support and care throughout your family’s memory care journey. We take a holistic approach to help build confidence and celebrate every accomplishment—small or large. We embrace every resident’s individual needs and abilities, delivering person-centered care that helps them lead a life of purpose, dignity and safety—renewing hope, happiness and peace of mind. 

Navigate Memory Care is all about celebrating individuality, staying connected to loved ones and maintaining personal interactions and relationships with residents. 

Living spaces designed with care

With 32 private suites and multiple floor plans, our memory care neighborhood provides safe, comfortable and engaging spaces needed to experience life’s many moments of joy. These neighborhood-style residences are refined, familiar and functional, providing the luxuries of a community with all the comforts of home. Each residence is thoughtfully designed with the multiple stages of dementia in mind, including clear sightlines, wide pathways and secure entrances to ensure safety and comfort. 

Our memory care community in Ankeny also features gathering rooms and a separate dining area, an expansive living area with a fireplace and a water feature. An enclosed, secured courtyard allows residents to enjoy the outdoors while remaining safe at all times. Additionally, programmable lighting is featured throughout to ensure improved sleep, alertness and mental clarity.

Experience that counts, associates that care

With a profound understanding of Navigate’s Memory Care approach, our associates create deep connections with each resident to provide more customized care in a loving, nurturing environment. Our associates are specially trained by a Certified Dementia Practitioner and participate in continuing education modules focused on dementia. 

At CopperWood, each day is dedicated to individualized activities to enrich the lives of those we serve by embracing and celebrating everything they do. Your loved one is the focus of all that we do. This, coupled with an activities-centered philosophy, is grounded in the belief that each person’s abilities are important building blocks and more essential than what is lost.

A full day—sights, sounds and activities

We surround residents with spaces that engage the senses; sounds of water and music, smells of cooking, sights of fresh flowers and plants, art, the comfort of fresh laundry and indicators of the changing seasons. Always with continuous reminders of things to look forward to today, tomorrow and beyond, every day is full of favorite pastimes and memories to help with recall while making new meaningful moments. 

Activities, such as music and art therapy, are designed to aid with cognitive function during each stage of memory loss, allowing for self-expression and engagement. Specialized exercises offer continued health and wellness, while purposefully designed programming helps to create meaningful opportunities to ensure personal connections are celebrated. These activities help individuals living with memory-related conditions maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.
