SHINE® Memory Care: Nationally Recognized for Promoting Excellence in Person-Centered Memory Care
Science. Personalization. And the very latest in evidence-based procedures and best practices.
That’s the unique formula behind our proprietary SHINE® Memory Care Program, which was designed and developed by Discovery Senior Living to enrich the lives of seniors living with dementia, including Alzheimer’s Disease or other memory-related issues.
For our organization, and especially for the seniors and families whose lives have already been touched by the program, SHINE® is special…and we aren’t the only ones taking notice.
That’s because in 2020, after a comprehensive review, our SHINE® Memory Care Program curriculum earned a prestigious Certificate of Recognition from the Alzheimer’s Association®, the country’s leading, voluntary health organization dedicated to Alzheimer’s care and research.
In doing so, Discovery Senior Living became one of only 8 memory care providers in the US to earn this distinction from the Alzheimer’s Association®.
The honor is a testament to the quality of the SHINE®, and shows that its person-centered approach is at the leading edge of the dementia care universe. And so too are our exceptional, SHINE®-certified team members, whose unique knowledge, skills and compassion position them as foremost care providers in our industry.
In all, our SHINE® program ensures the finest-quality memory care available anywhere, and it can only be found at Discovery Senior Living communities where the Memory Care lifestyle option is offered!

SHINE® principles help guide caring and compassionate interactions, foster an environment of comfort and trust, and inspire engagement through individualized activities.
