Willow Woods offers a secured unit dedicated to providing Memory Care. Our highly-trained nurses understand the importance of creating a comfortable and supportive environment for each resident. We recognize that as cognitive abilities decline, simple routines and visual cues can play a vital role in promoting familiarity and ease. We provide around-the-clock supervised care, offering a comprehensive range of services to ensure the well-being of our Memory Care residents.
This includes hosting Family Support Group meetings to promote a sense of community and support, providing daily nutritious meals, organizing various engaging activities and exercise programs, and maintaining a strong focus on health management. Residents can rest in comfortable private or semi-private rooms, with the added convenience of housekeeping and laundry services. Medication management is a top priority to ensure each individual’s health needs are met. We also offer a variety of social programs to encourage socialization and mental well-being. With 24-hour staffing and personal assistance, residents are never alone, and their needs are consistently met. Our approach to care is highly personalized, tailoring treatment options for each resident, continuously monitoring treatment effectiveness as they progress, and being flexible in exploring alternatives when necessary. We work with each resident to set individual treatment goals and tolerance levels to provide the most effective and compassionate care possible.
Additionally, our nurses work closely with residents’ families to establish personalized routines that enhance their sense of security and well-being. By implementing these routines and incorporating visual cues, we aim to provide a positive substitute for diminishing mental processes. This approach helps residents feel more at ease, reducing anxiety and confusion.
