Honoring Your Loved One’s Life Story in Cibolo, Texas
Our Cibolo memory care team reminds seniors with memory loss of two things every day: they are important, and they matter. The Cottage is our small neighborhood that’s all about making every moment count, focusing on the present, and enhancing the quality of life for our residents receiving long-term memory care services.
The Brooks’ location near the Guadalupe River and sprawling ranch lands influences our programming; we often incorporate nature by tending plants or sitting on the patio to feel the warm breezes, and we play classic Texas country music that many residents grew up with. Many of them have deep ties to the military community at Randolph Air Force Base, and that identity runs through family life in this part of Texas. Others chose Cibolo for its open spaces, its small-town feel, and the things they could do together as a family when the kids were young. Our team takes time to understand and incorporate all of that history into daily life here.
Purpose-built Alzheimer’s and dementia care. Comprehensive support. A place where your loved one can feel comfortable again.
What Guides Our Practical Approach to Dementia Care
We understand how challenging dementia can be for families. That’s why our team receives ongoing training in person-centered dementia care, featuring Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care (PAC). This method helps caregivers understand how dementia affects communication, behavior, and daily routines so they can respond with patience and respect.
By building consistent relationships with residents — many of whom have lived in Cibolo their entire lives, and others who have moved here over the past few decades to build their careers and families — caregivers learn each person’s preferences and life story to provide support that feels familiar and reassuring.
Families gain confidence and relief knowing their loved one is supported by people who truly understand dementia care. We partner with families every step of the way, offering guidance, communication, and reassurance throughout the journey.

Engaging Memory Care Activities Focused on Quality of Life
Memory care activity programming in The Cottage is specifically based on the latest scientific research to improve quality of life and slow the progression of Alzheimer’s and dementia.

The Passion Program’s variety of intellectual, vocational, social, spiritual, and stress-reducing activities presents an evidence-based method of teaching and learning.
We also have opportunities for residents receiving personal care to engage in purposeful, hands-on activities, such as cleaning and cooking, to feel happy, helpful, and productive.
