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 about 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 assisted living 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.

Friendship Towers
Restaurant-Style Dining All-Day-Dining from 7 AM - 7 PM
Our Culinary Team loves to create dishes that surprise & delight, with local ingredients and seasonally curated menus to keep meals exciting and fresh for our residents.
Our all-day-dining menu is inspired by our chef's favorite Southern comfort cuisine that allows you to eat what you want, when you want.
Meals are served in our open and airy restaurant, café, alfresco in the pavilion, or in your apartment.
Casual Cafe
The residents see the café as their local place to catch up & meet friends and family for a quick bite or cup of coffee.
It's also a spot to catch the game, enjoy hands-on food demonstrations and cooking classes from Chef Justin and the team!
Outdoor Dining Options
Feel like dining alfresco?
You'll be able to dine in the open-air, covered pavilion right off the restaurant. The breeze and the view are worth getting up early for! Or, opt to enjoy your lunch or snack on one of two different umbrella-shaded table groupings in the gorgeous park-like courtyard.
Plan on having a hand-dipped scoop of ice cream with friends or family on the covered wrap-around porch, while rocking on one of the many rocking chairs.
Nutrition & Diets
Local fresh fruits and vegetables are always a focus for our team's in-house dietitian. In fact, we celebrate a 'super food of the month' all year round. Tasty and nutritious food is important for whole body wellness. Our culinary team cooks from scratch for peak freshness and taste.
With a large menu, there is something for everyone and diets can be accommodated. Our team is focused on making meal time your favorite time of the day.
Baunta/Forest View
Dining at Baunta Apartments & Forest View Residents
Take in lunch and a view! The Baunta Grill serves up delicious daily specials, soups, salads, sandwiches, and more in a large dining room with an entire wall of floor to ceiling windows overlooking a grand patio with a forest-like backdrop.
Dine in The Baunta Grill
Both Forest View and Baunta residents enjoy a very affordable dining menu for residents and guests. Many diners will come down for lunch and then take an entree to go for dinner when they don’t feel like cooking! Residents may also opt to dine at Friendship Towers any time!
Your guests are always welcome in the dining room; this is your home. You might catch a game on the big screen, see a family gathering after church, or overhear lively discussion from one of the many clubs on campus at the Baunta Grill.
