The assisted-living community will cater to caring for people who have Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. It will be located on four acres at 10025 Anderson Mill Road and will open to residents in November. The company—started by CEO Mitchell Warren and his father, Melvin, 15 years ago in Irving—also broke ground March 26 on a community in Georgetown, Mitchell Warren said.
Warren said he and his father started the company because of their passion to care for people with Alzheimer's and dementia and give back to the community. The model is one that they created.
"There are other businesses in the industry but not a lot in stand-alone memory care," Warren said. "We're in one building called the residence community that is totally dedicated to people with Alzheimer's and dementia. It's safe and secure. The whole building is for them to use, and it feels like a large house."
