Sedgewood Commons in Falmouth, ME is a dedicated Memory Care community set up to meet the needs of residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Care protocols address wandering behaviors throughout the day and night, elopement risk, and episodes of combativeness, and the staff is trained to manage advanced dementia conditions.

The building is fully secured, and licensed nurses are on site to monitor health status, oversee medication management, and coordinate the many medical services available in-house. Residents have access to physical, occupational, and speech therapy, pain management, dialysis support, hospice care, podiatry, massage therapy, and pharmaceutical delivery. Full assistance is offered for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and transfer help ranges from standby supervision to one- or two-person transfers with walkers or wheelchairs. Family and resident counseling is available to support decision-making and coping.

Private and semiprivate rooms are available, each maintained by the housekeeping team. Layouts vary, and not all accommodations include every feature, so families are encouraged to review the options during a tour.

Meals follow a set menu prepared by the culinary staff, and clinical team members coordinate diet modifications to accommodate medical conditions such as diabetes, dysphagia, or cardiac needs.

Residents have community-wide internet access and can spend time in the communal gardens for fresh air and outdoor activity.
