HeatherWood Assisted Living & Memory Care
Memory Care
What is memory care? Memory care, sometimes referred to as Alzheimer’s care, is a residential home-like care setting designed specifically to care for those with Alzheimer’s or other dementias.
The Glen at HeatherWood provides physical, emotional, social, and spiritual support for the people who live here. We also provide education and peace of mind for families who have a memory challenged loved one.
Our care team members undergo dementia-specific education, including validation and elder-directed, person centered training when learning how to provide assistance to elders with dementia.
Responsive Care
Residents’ whereabouts and well-being are monitored by well-educated care team members providing 24-hour care and supervision. There is a Registered Nurse consultant on our team. Enhanced care team member-to-resident ratios allow responsive care. Services include arrangement of healthcare appointments, mobility assistance, help with dressing, standby and full assistance for showering, and personal care assistance for daily living.
