Stonebridge – Mt. Vernon, formerly known as Lavender Ridge, offers a dedicated Memory Care program designed to meet the needs of residents living with every stage of dementia, including advanced conditions. The community is prepared to care for people who wander during the day or night, show exit-seeking or elopement behaviors, demonstrate combativeness or other behavioral issues, remain up all night, or require specialized attention for wounds, oxygen therapy, diabetes management—whether through oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale regimens—and modified or therapeutic diets. The team also admits adults under 60 who fit the Memory Care profile, ensuring services are tailored to individual clinical requirements.

To support these care needs, Stonebridge maintains registered and licensed nurses on staff with a nurse available on call 24/7. Background-checked employees work awake night shifts, and the building has door alarms, pull-cords, a PERS system, and round-the-clock staffing for security. Residents have access to an on-site therapy room and the community accepts psychiatric diagnoses. Staff can provide some physical assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they accommodate a wide range of mobility levels, including walker or wheelchair use, standby supervision, one-person transfers, and bed-bound care.

Suites are available in several layouts and may include a private bathroom, individual climate controls, cable hookup, and the option to paint or decorate. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are included. Because floor plans vary, not every room offers every listed feature.

Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet nutritional standards, with snacks available throughout the day. The kitchen team can modify textures, portion sizes, and ingredients to follow physicians’ orders for diabetic, low-sodium, heart-healthy, or other special diets. Staff monitor intake and coordinate with nursing to adjust meal plans as medical needs change.

Residents can make use of on-property conveniences such as resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, wellness center, internet access points, and landscaped communal gardens. Special-interest clubs, personalized shadow boxes, fall-alert sensors for beds and chairs, and scheduled transportation round out the service package.
