Cogir of Folsom is dedicated exclusively to Memory Care and is equipped to manage residents with early to late-stage dementia. Care teams are trained to address wandering behaviors at any hour, intervene when there is elopement risk, and support individuals who may become combative or present other behavioral concerns. Residents who stay up all night are monitored and redirected as needed. The community also accepts diabetics managed with oral medications, making sure glucose checks and medication schedules stay consistent.

Round-the-clock oversight is delivered by an awake night shift, and an on-site Activity Director keeps cognitive engagement a priority. Safety measures include a fenced rear area, alarmed doors, in-room pull cords, and optional personal emergency response systems that alert staff. Podiatry and dental services are provided on campus, eliminating the need to travel for routine care. Staff can give full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they handle every level of mobility support from standby help with a walker to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers for bed-bound residents.

Private suites are available, some with their own bathrooms, independent climate controls, cable hookups, and motion detectors that prompt staff check-ins when movement patterns change. Housekeeping is standard, and scheduled laundry services keep clothing and linens clean. Because not every suite has every feature, families should confirm specific room details during a tour.

Dining offers a set menu with the option to order alternate entrées at each meal. Snacks are stocked throughout the day, and staff can serve meals in resident rooms when energy or behavior makes communal dining difficult. The kitchen prepares mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid diets and can accommodate vegetarian preferences to align with medical or personal needs.

Residents have access to a full slate of amenities, including a barber and beauty shop, communal gardens, internet access, a library, special-interest clubs, live entertainment, a TV room, on-site religious services, concierge support, scheduled transportation, and TowneCar service for personal appointments. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
