You want your family member living with a memory impairment like dementia or Alzheimer’s disease to live an active and rewarding life. Our Valeo™ memory care neighborhood is designed to help them do just that.
Our team gets to know each resident individually, forming close relationships so we can understand a resident’s life and legacy. Team members also work closely with residents’ families, creating a full picture of every resident so we can offer the most complete support possible. This understanding helps our team create meaningful days for residents, engaging every aspect of their well-being so your loved one can thrive.
Derived from the Latin word meaning “to thrive,” Valeo is our memory-care-specific neighborhood and programming created for residents with memory impairments like Alzheimer’s and dementia. Every Valeo program is personalized, taking into account residents’ unique preferences, strengths, and support needs.
The Agewell Solvere Salus™ wellness philosophy guides our work at our Valeo Memory Care neighborhood. Salus takes a holistic approach, engaging residents and taking a four-pillar focus on well-being, including:
Nutritious food, exercise, and active pursuits can improve physical wellness.
Support existing relationships and forge new ones with both people and pets in the community.
Engage the brain with creative activities that exercise the mind, helping residents recapture memories and preserve cognition.
Connect with a resident’s personal beliefs and help them honor their traditions.
The Salus™ philosophy aims to stimulate each day and give residents personalized opportunities for one-on-one engagement. We help residents create connections and continue to lead interesting lives, emphasizing dignity in a community that values residents as whole individuals with a legacy worth sharing.
You have lived a full and unique life with memories and experiences worth sharing. At The Glades at ChampionsGate, each resident’s day is tailored to their individual preferences and legacy. When you become a resident, we start with a wellness review so we can understand your unique history, abilities, and passions. We then design a personal care approach that supports you throughout each day, helping you create a life full of meaning and moments of joy.
Our Valeo Signature Programs are all built on a foundation of whole-person well-being and health backed by scientific research. Each program is personalized for every resident in our memory care community in Central Florida, offering opportunities to thrive through stimulating, enriching events and close, consistent connections.
A Florida memory care community like The Glades offers supportive care for people with dementia or other major cognitive changes. Often, memory care is part of a transition from an assisted living community or skilled nursing care, offering safety and one-on-one support.
It isn’t always clear when memory care is the right choice, and the decision can be stressful for families and residents alike. People with fewer memory changes or mental impairments may be able to live independently or in a community with a lower level of care, so knowing when memory care is the right choice often includes the guidance of experts.
Here are some signs that it is time for your family member to transition to a memory care community:

At The Glades at ChampionsGate, we have been part of the transition to memory care for many families, and we know that the journey can be challenging—for both individuals and their families. There may be resistance to change, denials, or arguments.
To make the process easier, start the conversation early, and let it happen slowly so your family member can adjust to the idea. Share that you’ve noticed changes, and you have concerns about their safety and well-being. Take a gentle approach, and try to be supportive.
People with memory challenges struggle to change routines, so the move to memory care may feel like an intimidating change. Involve your loved one in the decision-making process, and let them choose some things in the process to help them feel their dignity and autonomy is respected.
Emphasize to your loved one that this change comes from a place of love and care, and a desire to stay involved in your loved one’s life. Help your loved one understand they aren’t a burden. Above all, know this: at The Glades at ChampionsGate, we’re here to support you.
