DALLAS—Having had a loved one diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, Charles Hodges knows the importance of receiving care in a dedicated treatment facility.

That's the reason behind the Dallas architect and Tribute Senior Living partner's decision to construct an advanced memory care and senior living community in Prosper this spring. Upon completion next year, the 60,000-square-foot community will be home to 100 residents. Tribute plans to build nine more across the country.

Hodges, founder and president of Dallas-based Hodges & Associates Architecture, witnessed firsthand the inadequacy of Alzheimer care environments and treatments while his father lived in and out of nursing facilities for years.
