What matters in memory care is usually not the “big” things. It’s the daily details. At Sundara, we focus on what really shapes a good day:

- Small things matter: preferences, routines, favorite foods, and the comforts that help someone feel at ease.
- Families matter: you are not “visitors” here, you are part of the care team.
- Stories matter: we learn each resident’s history so care stays personal and respectful.
- Touch matters: warmth, reassurance, and yes, lots of hugs.

If you’re exploring memory care and want a place built around steady, relational care, we would love to meet you. Schedule a tour at https://sundaraliving.com/request-an-appointment-sundara-memory-care/

We are not in the business of renting rooms; we are in the business of providing care. Come in to request a tour and more information about Sundara Memory Care

When dementia enters a marriage, it is not just as a medical condition, but as a rupture in the story you thought you were writing together.

In an instant, the familiar future is replaced by questions you never imagined asking. Will we still share the same conversations? Will we still be able to travel, laugh, or dance in the kitchen? How long before daily routines become unfamiliar?

It is normal to feel lost. It is normal to feel selfish for wondering how you will cope when you are not the one who is sick. It is normal to swing between fierce love and deep fear. If you are reading this with tears in your eyes, know that you are not alone. https://sundaraliving.com/struggling-to-cope-with-your-spouses-dementia-diagnosis-first-weeks-small-steps/

Coping with a spouse’s dementia diagnosis can feel overwhelming. Learn compassionate first steps, emotional support, and care options at Sundara.

Creativity does something powerful in memory care. Whether it’s painting, music, or simple arts and crafts, creative moments can ease stress, lift mood, and help someone living with dementia feel more present and engaged.

In this blog, we share what research says about how art and music can support engagement and wellbeing, why group creativity can help protect against isolation, and a few simple ways caregivers can bring creative expression into everyday life at home without needing a lot of supplies.

We practice creativity regularly in our small 16-resident homes because these are the moments that help a day feel calmer, warmer, and more connected. Read the full post here https://sundaraliving.com/how-creativity-can-help-dementia-symptoms/ and see what life at Sundara is like!

Participating in creative activities can help individuals with dementia to be more present and engaged - and can even trigger long-forgotten memories.

"Kelli and her fantastic staff have guided, encouraged and helped in too many ways to list. Knowing your loved one is being cared for by professionals trained to care for their special needs is such a relief. Visiting my mom has become such a joy, we are all able to enjoy her and no longer have the burden of 24/7 care. "

Memory care is all we do, and we are really good at it.

At Sundara, we know how heavy this decision can feel. With more than 60 years of experience (including our own family’s journey), we built the kind of memory care community we kept wishing existed: less confusion, less corporate, less cost, and more of what actually matters for someone living with dementia.

→ Smaller is better. Our intentionally small setting supports recognition, routine, and a familiar sense of scale, which can reduce disorientation, agitation, and anxiety.
→ Premium, proactive care. We focus on consistent engagement and structure throughout the day, not a limited weekly activity schedule.
→ Great people, supported well. We invest in specialized training, continuing education, and advanced certifications because excellent care starts with excellent caregivers.
→ Owner-operated and accountable. No corporate layers, no revolving door leadership. You can talk directly with the people responsible for your loved one’s care.
→ Straightforward value. Fixed, all-inclusive fees with no levels of care, add-ons, or surprise charges, so families can budget with confidence.

If you are exploring memory care in the Round Rock or North Austin area and want a simpler, more personal option, we would love to connect. Visit https://sundaraliving.com/request-an-appointment-sundara-memory-care/ to schedule a tour.
