Supportive Alzheimer’s Care in Mobile, AL
An Alzheimer’s diagnosis can turn life upside down, both for the person diagnosed and for their family. It’s tough to watch a loved one struggle with memories slipping away and even harder to navigate the emotions that come with it. As a family member, you want the best for them, but the care they need can become overwhelming to provide on your own.

Transparent, Affordable Memory Care Services
At Gordon Oaks, we know that the needs of someone with Alzheimer’s can evolve over time, and that’s something we plan for from the start.

This rate covers all the essentials—everything from room and board to meals and 24/7 support—making sure that you or your loved one receives the care they need without unexpected costs.
We accept all forms of long-term care insurance and would be happy to discuss your payment options during your personalized tour.

Frequently Asked Questions About Alzheimer’s Care
When it comes to Alzheimer’s care, there are many questions on your mind. It’s normal to feel uncertain, but we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

If you still have more questions, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re always here to help you make the best choice for your loved one’s care and well-being.
The living accommodations in our memory care community are thoughtfully designed to meet the specific needs of each resident. All of our memory care apartments are studio-style, providing a comfortable and private space while allowing for easy access to staff and amenities.
The memory care campus is separate from our independent living community to ensure a more secure environment focused entirely on the needs of those with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Great question! While both a memory care community and a nursing home offer care for those who need help with daily living, the focus is a bit different. Memory care communities like ours are specifically designed for people with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other memory-related conditions. The care and environment are tailored to meet their unique needs, providing specialized support, structured routines, and safety features.
On the other hand, nursing homes offer more general medical care for a wide range of health conditions, not just memory loss. So, while both provide important services, memory care is all about creating a nurturing and secure space for those with cognitive challenges.
The cost of Alzheimer’s care can vary depending on the level of care needed and the specific community, but at Gordon Oaks, we offer a simple, flat monthly rate. This means you’ll know exactly what to expect each month, with no surprises as care needs change. Since the rates are month-to-month, they provide flexibility and peace of mind for families. For a more accurate idea of what care might cost, we’d be happy to discuss your specific needs during a personal consultation.
Our carefully designed programs focus on promoting physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being. A few examples of the activities that we offer to keep Alzheimer’s residents engaged include:
- Exercise classes
- Memory activities such as puzzles, trivia, and bingo
- Arts & crafts
- Movie nights
- Bible study
- Coloring
- & more!
Your monthly flat rate “lease” will include the following:
- Housing: Studio, grand studio, or one-bedroom apartment accommodations.
- Three-Course Dining: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner provided.
