Memory Care

Memory care with an emphasis on familiarity, comfort and wellbeing

Navigate Memory Care at FeatherStone at Hickory Hill is an experience like no other. With high-end features seamlessly integrated into intentional planning and architectural design, our Iowa City 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, filled with engaging activities and personalized care focusing on mind, body and spirit. 

Navigate Memory Care is your compass, of sorts—your road map to a clear path of support and care for your loved one’s memory care journey. Navigate Memory Care is a holistic approach, focusing on mind, body and spirit to help build confidence and celebrate every accomplishment—big or small. 

We embrace every resident’s individual needs and abilities, delivering person-centered care that helps them lead a life of purpose, dignity and safety. Celebrating individuality, staying connected to loved ones and maintaining personal interactions and relationships with residents is what Navigate Memory Care is all about.

Purposefully-designed spaces

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 designed to be refined, familiar and functional, providing the luxuries of a community with all the comforts of home. Our residences are thoughtfully designed with the multiple stages of memory impairment in mind, including clear sightlines, wide pathways and secure entrances to ensure every resident has a safe and enjoyable space to live.

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 a more customized, person-centered care approach in a loving, nurturing environment. All our associates are specially trained by a Certified Dementia Practitioner and participate in continuing education modules focused on dementia. Each day is dedicated to individualized activities to enrich the lives of your loved one 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 the abilities that remain for each individual, no matter how small, are important building blocks, and more essential than what is lost.

A full day—sights, sounds and opportunities

Residents are surrounded by 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, each day is filled with their 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.
