Overview of Memory Garden

Part of the Tanglewood Manor campus, Memory Garden is a residential care community in the Fairmount Avenue neighborhood of Jamestown, New York. The community is operated by Memory Garden at Tanglewood, Inc., which offers assisted living, memory care, independent living, adult day care, and respite care. This range of services provides residents with different levels of support as their needs change. The two-story community has 56 beds.

The memory care program is for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other memory-related conditions. It focuses on preserving each person’s security, dignity, and independence. Adult day care and respite care are also available for families who need short-term or part-time support. These services can provide temporary relief for caregivers or serve as a first step before a longer-term stay.

Residents have access to transportation services, fitness and recreation programs, and pet accommodations. The community is about 2.5 miles from downtown Jamestown. The neighborhood has a Walk Score of 50, making it moderately walkable. Some nearby destinations are within walking distance, while most errands and outings require a car. This may suit families who drive to town without being in the middle of a busy commercial strip..

State inspections by the New York Department of Health’s Office of Aging and Long Term Care have mainly reviewed admission procedures, resident protections, resident services, medication management records, and other administrative documentation. Corrective plans have been submitted and reviewed when needed. Families visiting Memory Garden should ask how these areas are managed as part of the community’s daily operations.
