Glen Carr House in Derby, Kansas, is built around a single focus: memory care. Residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia receive individualized support from staff trained in the latest memory-care practices. Routine assessments allow the team to adjust care plans for residents who also need diabetes management, and a licensed speech therapist is available to address language, swallowing, or communication challenges that often accompany cognitive decline.

The community is fully secured, with controlled access points and staff on duty around the clock. On-site medical services include incontinence care, ambulatory assistance, hospice coordination, and comprehensive medication management. The building is designed specifically to accommodate memory loss, minimizing confusion while encouraging independence. Residents have access to occupational and physical therapists as well as a visiting podiatrist, ensuring that mobility and foot health are monitored without leaving the property.

Private and companion suites are available, and many—but not all—offer wheelchair-accessible showers, handicap-friendly layouts, and in-room climate control. Common areas feature a central fireplace, a piano for resident use, and secure outdoor spaces where residents can enjoy fresh air under staff supervision.

Meals are prepared on site and served throughout the day, allowing residents to eat on their own schedule. Standard menus are adapted for low-sodium or no-sugar diets, and guest meals can be arranged for visiting family members. Staff remain available during meals to provide cueing or assistance as needed.

Residents can spend their free time in the activity center, join organized clubs and interest groups, or work in the raised garden beds that are designed for safe, supervised participation. These amenities provide structured options for social engagement and purposeful activity without leaving the secure campus.
