At Aroha Memory Care, we understand that choosing the right community for your loved one is an important decision — and one that often comes with many questions.

Our approach to memory care is rooted in science, compassion, and innovation, guided by physicians and experts in senior wellness.
Below, you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions about our philosophy, programs, and what makes Aroha a truly different kind of memory care community.

What makes Aroha different from other memory care communities?

Aroha is a physician-led, evidence-based memory care community that combines medical expertise, lifestyle science, and thoughtful design to enhance longevity and quality of life. It’s the first residential community to implement the MD Senior Wellness methodology.

Developed by Drs. Raj and Nisha Kalra, the MD Senior Wellness methodology integrates medical insight, dental health, nutrition, physical activity, stress management, and social connection to improve healthspan and overall wellbeing.

Juliet Holt Klinger, a nationally recognized gerontologist, leads the creation of outcome-based programs at Aroha. She ensures every resident experience is guided by science, empathy, and measurable results.

Aroha uses advanced AI-based safety systems, including SafelyYou Halo and PalCare, to detect falls, monitor patterns, and improve caregiver responsiveness. These tools give families greater peace of mind while supporting personalized care.

At Aroha, “Lifestyle as Medicine” means leveraging daily choices—nutrition, movement, and social connection—as powerful tools to support healthy aging. These principles are embedded in every aspect of Aroha’s design and programming.
