For many families, the first signs of memory loss in a parent or loved one bring both worry and hard decisions. Far too familiar with caregiving ourselves, women often step in as caregivers – searching for answers, comfort, and hope. That is where Marama Kansas offers something new.
Located within Wichita’s award-winning Avita Rolling Hills community, Marama Kansas is the nation’s first residential memory recovery center dedicated to helping reverse early stages of Alzheimer’s and dementia. Rather than simply managing decline, Marama provides science-based care designed to uncover root causes and spark renewal.
What Is Marama Kansas?
The name “Marama,” meaning “moon” or “light” in Māori, reflects the center’s mission: to bring light during uncertain times. Families often notice the difference immediately.
What sets Marama Kansas apart is its commitment to root-cause care. At the heart of Marama Kansas is individualized care built around the renowned Bredesen Protocol. Each resident’s plan addresses underlying contributors such as inflammation, nutrition, and lifestyle.
Meals are crafted to nourish recovery, toxin-free rooms are filled with natural light, organic linens, and calming colors create a sense of peace and dignity. It feels less like a facility and more like a sanctuary.
This isn’t just treatment; it is whole-person care.
Daily life incorporates a wide range of therapies that support memory and overall well-being. These include brain training, red and infrared light therapy, oxygen contrast sessions with LiveO₂, sauna therapy, neuro-stimulation, movement programs, and guided breathwork. Woven together, these therapies provide residents with daily rhythms of clarity and connection.
For families, the impact is deeply personal. Wichita resident Laura Carmack shared: “They have the chef, they have the meals, they have the therapies. My hope is that everybody has the opportunity to have their loved one in a place like Marama.”
When caring for aging parents, family members often wonder if there are options beyond traditional memory care. Marama Kansas was built to give families that choice – a place where every smile, every story, and every moment still matters.
