Specialized Alzheimer's and Dementia care that brings daily comfort, engagement and joy.
The impact of memory loss can be devastating. At Sayre Christian Village, we understand and consider everyone involved when it comes to specialized memory care. Our highly trained team works with those with memory loss from Alzheimer’s or dementia to ensure the highest quality of life. Our daily mission is to engage each resident in a way that preserves their choices, promotes their current abilities and supports their independence in a secure environment.
Families are also provided assistance to help them understand and cope with the challenges presented by memory loss. We always welcome family members to visit their loved ones frequently, and to take advantage of every amenity offered at Sayre Christian Village. Share a meal in the dining room, take a stroll through the courtyard, or play a game in the common area.
When our team of caregivers get to spend time with families, we get to understand more about our new friend. Likes, dislikes, hobbies, past times, childhood memories, occupations, family members and milestones all provide our team with an opportunity for a deeper level of connection and understanding. This knowledge transforms into personalized activities and conversations that promote exceptional care for your loved one.
Our Residents Feel Safe, Secure and Valued with the Best Friends™ Approach to Memory Care.
A hallmark of our memory care program is the Best Friends™ approach to dementia care. This comprehensive approach was developed in the 1990s by Virginia Bell and David Troxel while they were conducting research at the University of Kentucky's Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. The trademarked approach is based on the idea that the single most important thing a person with dementia needs, is a "best friend." A best friend understands their situation, empathizes with them, is steadfast with love and support, and is dedicated to helping the person feel safe, secure and valued at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions
We Prioritize Our Sayre Christian Village Community
Our first responsibility is to those residing at Sayre Christian Village community. Because of this, our long-term nursing beds, skilled memory care units, and short-term rehab rooms are most often filled from within, OR those that are coming directly from the hospital.
If we have an opening and can meet your loved one’s care needs, we will follow up directly in response to your inquiry.
We May Not Be Able to Return Every Inquiry
Due to the high number of inquiries we receive, we’re unable to respond unless we have a potential opening that matches your needs. Please know this isn’t a reflection of your loved one’s importance; we simply want to be respectful of your time and transparent about our process of serving our own residents first and those that are coming directly from the hospital.
Tours Are by Invitation
We’re currently only offering tours to families and hospital caseworkers we’ve reached out to for possible move-ins. This helps our team stay focused on both the care of our current Villagers and the thoughtful evaluation of new admissions.
What’s Required for Admission
To be considered for admission to Sayre Healthcare Center:
- An H&P that is less than 30 days old or a current discharge summary
- A bed must be available
- Our team must be able to meet your loved one’s specific care needs
Some placements happen quickly, while others may take days or even weeks, depending on the situation. Each request and inquiry is carefully considered, regardless of the ability to follow up.
Ready to Inquire?
Please submit an inquiry through our Contact Us page. We’ll reach out if a potential match becomes available.
Thank you for your understanding, your grace, and your trust in Sayre Christian Village.
What Friends & Family Say
A very close friend of ours lives here now and we're so grateful this place exists. He's very well taken care of and loves being there. The staff is excellent and it's a good community. Clean and well kept. The surrounding campus is nice too, and it's in a decent neighborhood. We're very happy with it.
Aaron Jones
I love everything about Sayre Christian Village. All the steps that have taken and are taking to keep COVID out are truly impressive. Also, I believe their faith-based approach to care giving gives them a leg up.
Biff Buckley
I have had the pleasure of seeing the care that Friendship Towers gives to their residents. The staff truly cares for the residents and their families. They have fun, engaging activities and the residents feel a great sense of community. A wonderful place for seniors to thrive!
