Abe’s Garden
MZA collaborated closely with Abe's Garden, an innovative memory-care community dedicated to transforming Alzheimer's and dementia care nationwide. Envisioned as both a cutting-edge care facility and research and training institute, Abe's Garden emphasizes resident-centered environments and aging-in-place design. MZA configured the campus into warm, distinct "neighborhoods" — each with 12 private bedrooms and shared living spaces — fostering comfort and camaraderie. Vibrant, green gardens connect these neighborhoods, welcoming residents to spend time outdoors safely. The result is has improved residents' daily lives and has become a national example of compassionate, dignified dementia care.
