I can see her laugh.” In this video, [Garry reflects](https://blog.thegoodmangroup.com/reflections-on-memory-care-from-a-loving-husband) on the decision to transition his wife, Marcia, into Villa at Terracina, a memory care community in Naples, Florida. “I think that her quality of life is better now than when she was living with me.”   Garry explains that her everyday is so much more meaningful now that she can interact with many new friends. While at home, they would venture out to lunch regularly, but Marcia was really only spending time with him and hired caregivers.

What’s important to them is very different than what is important to you.” Topics: [Memory Care](https://blog.thegoodmangroup.com/topic/memory-care), [Videos](https://blog.thegoodmangroup.com/topic/videos) --- [Blog Home](https://blog.thegoodmangroup.com) ### Stay in the Loop on the latest stories and information by subscribing to our resource blog [Blog Home](https://blog.thegoodmangroup.com) ## Recent Posts ## Schedule a tour discover a senior living community near you [Let's Connect](https://info.thegoodmangroup.com/schedule-a-community-tour) [![](https://thegoodmangroup.com/wp-content/themes/thegoodmangroup/assets/logos/stacked-logo.svg)](https://thegoodmangroup.com) [![](https://thegoodmangroup.com/wp-content/themes/thegoodmangroup/assets/logos/logo.svg)](https://thegoodmangroup.com) - ![](https://thegoodmangroup.com/wp-content/themes/thegoodmangroup/assets/logos/stacked-logo.svg) - [Home](https://thegoodmangroup.com/) - [Who We Are](https://thegoodmangroup.com/who-we-are) - [What We Manage](https://thegoodmangroup.com/what-we-manage) - [Senior Living & Health Care](https://thegoodmangroup.com/senior-living-health-care) - [Residential Living](https://thegoodmangroup.com/residential-living) - [Additional Services](https://thegoodmangroup.com/additional-services) - [What We Develop](https://thegoodmangroup.com/what-we-develop) - [How We Innovate](https://thegoodmangroup.com/how-we-innovate) - [Connect With Us](https://thegoodmangroup.com/connect-with-us) - [Partner](https://thegoodmangroup.com/partner) - [Newsroom](https://thegoodmangroup.com/newsroom) - [Careers](https://thegoodmangroup.com/careers) - ![](https://thegoodmangroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/star_trib_2023.png) - ![](https://blog.thegoodmangroup.com/hubfs/2020%20TGG/MN-PE-Award-Logo.jpg) - [![](https://thegoodmangroup.com/wp-content/themes/thegoodmangroup/assets/logos/WEB_Facebook_100px.svg)](https://www.facebook.com/thegoodmangroupllc/) - [![](https://thegoodmangroup.com/wp-content/themes/thegoodmangroup/assets/logos/WEB_X_100px.svg)](https://twitter.com/tggllc?lang=en) - [![](https://thegoodmangroup.com/wp-content/themes/thegoodmangroup/assets/logos/WEB_YouTube_100px.svg)](https://www.youtube.com/@tggvideo) - [![](https://thegoodmangroup.com/wp-content/themes/thegoodmangroup/assets/logos/WEB_LinkedIn_100px.svg)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-goodman-group-llc) --- 1107 Hazeltine Boulevard, Suite 200, Chaska, Minnesota 55318  |  [952.361.8000](tel:1-952-361-8000) © 2023 THE GOODMAN GROUP, LLC - ALL RIGHTS RESERVED [Terms of Use](https://thegoodmangroup.com/terms-of-use)   |   [Privacy Policy](https://thegoodmangroup.com/privacy%20Policy) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "The Goodman Group", "url" : "https://blog.thegoodmangroup.com/author/the-goodman-group" }, "dateModified" : "2024-07-25T14:28:09.758Z", "datePublished" : "2017-06-06T21:34:10.000Z", "headline" : "How Memory Care Improved My Wife's Quality of Life [VIDEO]", "image" : [ "https://blog.thegoodmangroup.com/hubfs/Blog_Images/Screen%20Shot%202017-06-06%20at%204.29.43%20PM.png" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://blog.thegoodmangroup.com/memory-care-improve-quality-of-life", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://blog.thegoodmangroup.com/hubfs/TheGoodManGroup_June_2016/Logo/TGG-Italic-Stacked-PMS-550C--PMS-Cool-Gray-10C.jpeg" }, "name" : "The Goodman Group" } } ```
