Arden Courts of Farmington is a dedicated memory-care community that centers its services on the needs of residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. Around-the-clock RN and LPN coverage coordinates care for wandering in the morning or evening, elopement risk, combative or other challenging behaviors, and residents who stay up through the night. The medical team manages wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes—whether oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin is required. Residents under 60 who need memory support are accepted, and the staff is trained to deliver complete assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby supervision and walker or wheelchair support to two-person or Hoyer-lift moves for bed-bound individuals.
Safety and clinical oversight are reinforced by background-checked employees who work awake overnight shifts, door-alarm systems, a fully fenced rear area, and in-room pull cords that alert staff. On-site services include podiatry, dentistry, occupational and physical therapy, massage, ambulatory and incontinence care, medication management, hospice coordination, and specialized programming designed for memory loss. An activity director schedules therapeutic engagement throughout the day, and the layout is structured exclusively for memory care to support familiarity and reduce confusion.
Resident rooms generally offer a private bathroom, basic furnishings, individual temperature controls, cable access, and the option to paint or decorate, although not every unit includes every feature. Floor plans are straightforward to allow quick staff response and to help residents navigate more easily.
Dining follows a set menu developed to meet nutritional requirements common in memory care, including diabetic and other physician-ordered diets. Staff provide hand-over-hand or full feeding assistance when needed, and snacks are available outside scheduled meals to keep residents comfortably nourished and hydrated.
The secured campus is wheelchair accessible and offers an outdoor smoking area, barber and beauty shop, movie room, wellness center, and communal gardens that give residents structured places for recreation and social interaction.
