About This Community

From independent living to full-time memory care and short-stay respite care, COGIR at the Narrows is a safe, warm atmosphere designed specifically to offer comfort and stimulation to residents with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia.

Residents are gently guided toward daily success through secured perimeters, walking paths, wayfinding cues and other interactive areas. One noticeably different feature from what is usually found in memory care communities is your loved one is free to walk everywhere within the secured confines of the property including our large, secure outdoor spaces that give residents unobstructed access to experience nature.

Other signature interactive areas include our country kitchens where residents can enjoy a cup of coffee or help prepare a meal, living rooms designed for relaxation, visits with family, and participation in group activities, and reflection rooms featuring soft lighting, soothing music, and other relaxing elements. There's even a resident cat or dog to love. COGIR at The Narrows also offers life skill stations, where residents can revisit fond memories of life events like weddings, babies, and even veteran memorabilia.

In addition, COGIR at The Narrows offers hospice services on an as-needed basis.

We chose Cogir at the Narrows. We're going into senior living, but there is also assisted care and memory care available. The tour was really good. We've been over there four times now. The staff is very helpful, friendly, and very accommodating concerning personal interests and things that are going to make your experience there feel more like home and pleasant. The rooms are larger than many and they're nicely appointed and maintained. They have an exercise room and there's a big common room that has a grand piano in it and a big screen to show movies. There are alcoves throughout the building where there are tables and chairs set up with jigsaw puzzles on them. There's a library, a 24-hour coffee bar, and lots of smaller seating areas where you can sit with someone and have a conversation. There are lots of activities planned. There are at least two activities every day on the calendar. It has a beautiful residential setting as opposed to being in the middle of the city, which was particularly appealing to us. It's right near the Sound. We can walk to the beach. I can have my own garden space there. There are lots of possibilities there that make it a very appealing place. We looked at other places and they didn't compare. The food was excellent. There is a chef and a sous chef. I have special dietary needs, and they are very accommodating for those kinds of things. I'm still working and so I take lunch to school every day and they can accommodate that and do that for me. When we went there to eat, I had a salmon bowl and the salmon was perfectly prepared.
