Memory care on Alton Street in St. Paul since 2008.
A dedicated memory care community on Alton Street where people living with memory loss are known by name, and where families are part of the day rather than visitors to it.
Memory care is not one wing of a larger assisted living building here. It is the whole of what we do, and has been since 2008. Our caregivers are trained specifically in dementia care and know each resident’s history, routine and preferences.
Our experienced team takes a proactive, whole-person approach to health and wellness, so families can feel at ease.
A welcoming, purpose-filled community designed with men in mind featuring familiar routines, engaging activities, and personalized support in a comfortable environment where residents feel connected, valued, and empowered to thrive each day.
Choosing memory care for a loved one can feel overwhelming. Our team is here to answer your questions, explain the care and daily life at The Alton, and help you understand the next steps with clear information and compassionate guidance.

My mother could not tell me about her day any more. The team started sending me small notes about what she had done, and that gave me back something I thought was gone.
Daughter of Resident
Dad was leaving the house at night before he came here. He has not had one of those nights since. I sleep now too.
Son of Resident
I come at lunch most days. The staff know my wife's chair, know she likes the window, and know she will eat if someone sits with her. Nobody had to be told twice.
Husband of Resident
They asked what my mother did for a living before they asked anything about her diagnosis. She was a school nurse for thirty years. They still talk to her about it.
Daughter of Resident
My aunt has no children, so everything came to me. Someone here calls me when something changes rather than leaving it for me to notice at the next visit.
