Reflections of Garden Place in Columbia, IL is dedicated exclusively to Memory Care, accepting residents with mild through advanced dementia. The clinical team is prepared to manage wandering behaviors day or night, elopement risk, combative or other behavioral issues, and those who remain awake overnight. Residents who need oxygen, special diets, or diabetic management—whether by oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale coverage—are also supported. Individuals under 60 years old who meet cognitive–care criteria can be admitted, allowing families earlier access to a secured memory program.
The community is fully secured and staffed to handle complex needs. On-site medical providers visit for podiatry, audiology, dental care, and psychiatric concerns, and a dedicated therapy room is available for rehabilitation services. Direct-care staff offer full assistance with bathing and dressing, and provide some physical help with eating and toileting. Transfer support ranges from standby supervision to one-person physical transfers for residents who use walkers or wheelchairs. These features combine to reduce outside appointments and ease day-to-day care coordination for families.
Resident apartments may be furnished and can include independent temperature controls, basic cable service, regular housekeeping, and scheduled laundry pickup. Because floor plans vary, not every accommodation has every feature, so it is important to confirm specifics during a tour.
Meals follow a set menu prepared for consistency, with staff able to modify textures and nutrients to meet physician-ordered diets, including low-sodium, diabetic, and other special plans. Team members provide cueing or hands-on help at mealtimes to ensure adequate intake and accommodate changing abilities common in dementia.
Community amenities include barrier-free access for wheelchairs, an on-site barber and beauty shop, a wellness center for routine checks and exercise, community-wide internet access, and concierge assistance for scheduling and information.
