Keepsake Village of Columbus Memory Care is a dedicated memory-care community that serves residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, including advanced conditions. The team is equipped to manage a wide range of medical needs common to memory-care residents, offering support for daytime and nighttime wandering, elopement risk, and individuals who remain awake through the night. Clinical staff monitor and treat wounds, administer oxygen, manage special diets, and oversee diabetic care whether residents use oral medications, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. The community also welcomes adults under 60 who require memory care.
Around-the-clock clinical oversight is provided by licensed nurses who remain on site 24 hours a day, supported by awake night staff and an activity director who structures therapeutic programming. Safety systems include door alarms, pull cords, and personal emergency response devices that alert staff instantly. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments, and the staff can supply full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from simple standby support for walker users to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for residents who are bed bound.
Residences are designed for both privacy and practical support. Many suites feature a private bathroom and independent temperature controls, and several offer cable service. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided so residents and families do not need to arrange outside help. Because floor plans vary, not every accommodation includes every listed feature, and prospective residents are encouraged to verify specific details during a tour.
Meals are prepared on site with two service styles: a set daily menu and an option to order from available choices. Snacks are stocked throughout the day, and room service is offered when residents prefer to dine privately. A separate dining room can be reserved for family gatherings. Dietary accommodations include vegetarian selections, modified textures such as mechanical-chopped or puréed meals, and thickened liquids for safer swallowing.
The community is wheelchair accessible and includes practical conveniences such as a barber and beauty shop, internet access, and a library. Residents can enjoy communal gardens, attend on-site religious services, and participate in special-interest clubs. Scheduled transportation, coupled with proximity to public transit, helps residents keep medical appointments and maintain community connections.
