The Watermark at Brooklyn Heights is the only memory care program in the state of New York certified by the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA). Located near Brooklyn’s iconic Brooklyn Heights Promenade, the community has created a new approach to memory care since opening in 2020.
You’ll find fresh-baked cookies in the dedicated dining room, sunlit corridors filled with music, and quiet corners for family visits. The Watermark at Brooklyn Heights is also the only memory care provider in NYC with its own greenhouses, where residents tend to plants in raised gardening beds through a partnership with CaringKind.
Each resident’s care plan starts with a complete assessment of their medical needs, daily routines, thinking skills, and social preferences. The staff regularly reviews and updates these plans as needs change, adjusting support up or down as needed.
The Watermark at Brooklyn Heights offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care all in one place. This means residents can stay in the same community even if their needs change, keeping their relationships with care teams and staff. This prevents the stress of moving to a different provider.
Daily life in memory care reflects each resident’s personal story. The team learns about their past work, favorite music, and daily habits. These details shape daily activities and interactions—whether it’s afternoon tea, a playlist that sparks memories, or a quiet walk with a trusted staff member who knows how to make them smile.
The Watermark at Brooklyn Heights’ program has earned national recognition from the Alzheimer’s Association for its proven, person-centered dementia care. With specially trained staff and individualized support plans, The Watermark at Brooklyn Heights continues to set new standards for memory care in New York City.
