Litchfield Park Memory Care operates as a residential care home designed for residents who require close medical oversight. The team is prepared to manage advanced dementia conditions and behaviors commonly linked to memory loss, including wandering at any time of day, elopement risk, combative episodes, night-time wakefulness, and other behavioral issues. Clinical staff monitor and treat wounds, administer oxygen, and manage special diets. Younger adults with early-onset disorders are accepted, and diabetic residents receive care whether they use oral medications, scheduled injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. The community also accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses, coordinating with outside providers when needed.
Round-the-clock support is reinforced by a nurse on call 24/7, an awake night shift, and security personnel who remain on site at all hours. All employees undergo background checks, and safety measures include a fenced rear area, alarmed doors, and a personal emergency response system that alerts staff. Caregivers provide full assistance for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility services range from standby help for walkers to one-person or two-person transfers, mechanical lifts, and care for residents who are bed bound.
Private and semi-private rooms are available; some include private bathrooms, furnishings, individual climate controls, and cable service. Residents may personalize their space with paint or décor, and housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are part of the standard package. Because room layouts vary, families should confirm which specific features are present in the suite they select.
Meals follow a set menu with the option to order alternatives, and snacks are accessible throughout the day. In-room dining is offered when needed, and the kitchen staff handles diet modifications such as gluten-free dishes, mechanical-chopped or pureed textures, thickened liquids, vegetarian selections, and specialized diabetic plans. Nutritional oversight ensures each resident receives meals consistent with physician and dietitian recommendations.
Additional amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, and reliable internet access for residents and guests. Landscaped communal gardens provide a secure area for fresh air and exercise, and on-site religious services are scheduled regularly. The community supplies transportation for medical appointments and local errands, allowing residents to keep external commitments without additional coordination from family members.
