Our Care Model

A Better Model: Small Homes, Built Around People — Not Institutions

The Challenge We Are Addressing

More than 150,000 Arizonans are living with Alzheimer’s or dementia, and 1 in 9 seniors age 65+ is affected.

Traditional memory care facilities are:

  • Large and institutional
  • Cost-prohibitive for many families
  • Poorly suited for cognitive decline
  • Limited in continuous, individualized monitoring

Alzheimer’s and dementia are not episodic conditions — they require constant observation, adaptive care, and cognitive engagement, delivered in environments that reduce stress and preserve dignity.

The ATLAS FOUNDATION Smart Solution

Patented, Residential Memory Care at Human Scale

In 2026 the Consult Atlas Foundation launched its small residential memory care homes (10 beds or fewer) initiative. The Consult Atlas Foundation designs and supervises the development of affordable, humane, smart residential care facilities for individuals with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other high-acuity neurocognitive, neurological, and medically complex conditions, supported by licensed nursing staff, advanced monitoring systems, and patented predictive care technologies.

At the core of this model is the patented smart care technology invented by the Foundation’s founder, Michael Kapoustin.

This technology enables:

  • Continuous, non-intrusive monitoring
  • Predictive insight into behavioral and health changes
  • Cognitive engagement integrated into daily life
  • Lifestyle-based memory care, not institutional routines
  • Enhanced safety without loss of privacy

This is not generic “smart home” automation.
It is purpose-built, patented memory care technology designed to support high-acuity cognitive conditions in residential settings.

Why Small Homes Are Critical for Alzheimer’s & Dementia Care

Research and lived experience show that people with Alzheimer’s and dementia thrive best in:

  • Familiar, home-like environments
  • Smaller resident populations
  • Consistent routines
  • Reduced noise and stimulation
  • Personalized care and monitoring

Our lower-cost, distributed housing model allows residents to maintain privacy and dignity, while caregivers benefit from continuous data-driven insight that improves safety and outcomes.

What You Can Donate

Condition of House Before VS Condition of House After

Homes, ADUs & Residential Structures

  • Single-family homes
  • Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
  • Tiny homes and modular units
  • Prefabricated and container-based housing
  • Lower-level or partial home conversions
  • Raw land suitable for residential placement

Donated properties are refurbished and converted into licensed residential memory care homes, enhanced with patented monitoring and cognitive support technology.

RVs, Trailers & Residential Units

  • RVs
  • Trailers
  • Permanently sited mobile residential units

These units are permanently installed on approved land, connected to utilities, and converted into fixed residential memory care dwellings.

Once sited, they function as permanent housing and are upgraded to meet safety, accessibility, and memory care standards.

This approach allows rapid, cost-effective expansion of memory care capacity — particularly in rural and underserved Arizona communities.

What Our Patented Technology Enables

Continuous Health & Behavior Awareness

Patented systems analyze multiple real-time inputs — such as movement patterns, thermal data, environmental conditions, and activity context — to understand resident well-being as it evolves over time.

This allows caregivers to recognize:

  • Subtle health changes
  • Disruptions in routine
  • Early signs of distress or decline
  • Increased fall or wandering risk

All without requiring residents to self-report.

Cognitive Support Integrated Into Daily Life

Rather than separating “therapy” from living, the patented approach embeds cognitive engagement directly into everyday environments.

This includes:

  • Context-aware prompts
  • Familiarity reinforcement
  • Adaptive sensory engagement
  • Lifestyle-based cognitive interaction

The goal is supporting cognition through living, not clinical sessions.

Privacy-First, Non-Intrusive Monitoring

The technology is designed to be:

  • Passive where possible
  • Event-aware rather than constantly intrusive
  • Focused on patterns, not individuals
  • Respectful of resident dignity and privacy

This is especially critical for Alzheimer’s and dementia residents, where overstimulation and loss of autonomy can worsen outcomes.

Real-Time Assessment of Care Delivery

A key patented capability is the real-time evaluation of care as it is delivered, not just outcomes after the fact.

Using Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs), the system can:

  • Analyze whether expected care activities occurred
  • Compare delivered care to planned routines
  • Detect inconsistencies or gaps in care
  • Support caregiver accountability without constant supervision

This protects residents while also supporting caregivers with clarity and documentation.

Fraud, Abuse, and Neglect Risk Reduction

By assessing actual care delivered in real time, the system helps reduce risk related to:

  • Missed care
  • Inappropriate care
  • Undocumented incidents
  • Billing or service inconsistencies

This approach emphasizes prevention and transparency, not punishment or surveillance.

Why This Matters for Alzheimer’s & Dementia Care

Alzheimer’s and dementia care requires:

  • Continuous observation
  • Early pattern detection
  • Lifestyle-based intervention
  • Reduced reliance on memory or self-reporting

The patented ATLAS technology enables high-support memory care in small residential settings, making it possible to deliver outcomes traditionally associated with far more expensive institutional facilities.
