Cape Elizabeth Memory Care is a dedicated memory-care community equipped to meet the clinical needs that often accompany dementia. Residents who wander, experience elopement risk, stay up throughout the night, or require oxygen therapy are admitted with care plans tailored to their conditions. The team also manages wound care, special diets, and all levels of diabetes management, including oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale protocols. Support extends to residents living with advanced dementia, with an emphasis on consistent routines and close health monitoring.
Registered and licensed nurses are on staff, and a nurse is on call around the clock. Background-checked caregivers provide awake night coverage, maintain door alarms, and respond to pull-cord alerts. A full-time activity director coordinates programming that meets therapeutic goals, while 24-hour security ensures the campus remains secure. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments. Personal-care assistance includes full help with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the staff is trained to perform walker and wheelchair support, standby supervision, as well as one-person and two-person transfers.
Accommodations range from furnished suites with private bathrooms to units that feature kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and cable access. Residents may personalize their space with paint or décor, and housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided. Because layouts differ, not every apartment includes every listed feature, so it is advisable to confirm specific details during a visit.
Meals are prepared on a set menu with the option to order alternate selections at each sitting. Diet modifications are routinely implemented to honor physician directives and individual preferences, and snacks are stocked and available throughout the day for residents who benefit from smaller, more frequent nourishment.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a wellness center, internet connectivity, and landscaped communal gardens. The campus also offers on-site religious services, a gazebo, private courtyards with walking paths, and both a library and a combined library-lounge space. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and community outings.
