Lund Home Hospice Of The Valley in Gilbert, AZ offers specialized memory-care services designed for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. A registered nurse oversees care around the clock, coordinating closely with physicians to manage medications, monitor vital signs, and address any emergent health concerns. The staff is trained in dementia-specific techniques that help reduce agitation and promote safety, and individualized care plans are updated as residents’ needs change. On-site hospice support is also available for those who require end-of-life symptom management, ensuring continuity of medical oversight without the need to transfer to another setting.
Beyond direct medical care, the community provides occupational, physical, and speech therapy through visiting or on-site professionals, depending on each resident’s care plan. Caregivers assist with bathing, dressing, mobility, and continence needs, and they document changes in condition to keep families informed. Safety measures such as secured entrances, wander-alert systems, and continuous supervision help reduce the risk of elopement. Social workers are available to coordinate community resources, while chaplain services can be arranged for residents who request spiritual support.
Accommodations include a selection of private and semi-private rooms, each with basic furnishings, emergency call systems, and barrier-free bathrooms. Some suites offer extra features such as direct patio access, in-room climate controls, or upgraded flooring, but not all units include every option. Housekeeping and personal laundry are handled by staff, and maintenance personnel address repairs to keep rooms functional and safe.
Meals are prepared in an on-site kitchen, with menus planned by dietitians to meet nutritional guidelines and physician-ordered diets. Residents who need texture-modified or low-sodium meals receive the appropriate substitutions, and staff members are available to provide mealtime assistance for those with swallowing or dexterity issues. Three scheduled meals are served daily in a communal dining area, and snacks are offered between meals. While some rooms include small kitchenettes for light food storage, these features are not present in every accommodation.
