The Margaret T. Morris Center, an assisted-living community for those with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, is looking forward to celebrating 20 years in the Prescott community in 2019!
The Center was built in 1999 with an initial start-up grant from The Margaret T. Morris Foundation. The 25,000-square-foot building is designed with four home-like cheerful neighborhoods with bedrooms opening to intimate living and dining room areas.
Residents come out of their rooms to greet other residents and care partners, rather than staring down a long hallway.
Our person-centered care approach provides each resident with complete care including medical supervision, social interaction with other residents with like abilities, spiritual services and outdoor activities.
Residents enjoy our Bob and Dudie Kieckhefer Strolling Garden, a nationally recognized, award-winning therapeutic garden. This beautiful secure 1-acre garden is designed specifically for those living with dementia and provides a sense of peace and enjoyment for residents who stroll the pathways, enjoy the koi pond and plant flowers through our Horticultural Therapy program.
We serve the whole family by offering support to family members through education, counseling and encouraging social opportunities. Family members can visit anytime, enjoy meals together with their loved one and fully participate in their medical care.
We also offer simple all-inclusive pricing that is especially helpful as care needs often change as the disease progresses.
The Margaret T. Morris Center, a private nonprofit company run by a local board of directors, is proud of its rich history serving those living with Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment and other forms of dementia, including those who experience behavioral challenges. We serve people in the early stages of dementia through the end of life.
We are in a quiet and established neighborhood in Prescott. Come for a tour, visit our beautiful garden and discover the difference at The Margaret T. Morris Center! For more information, call (928) 445-6633 or visit adultcareservices.org.
