Summer Commons – Memory Care Assisted Living Unit – North Country Associates provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with programs designed to address the needs of residents living with moderate dementia. The clinical team is prepared to work with individuals who wander during either the day or night, are at risk for elopement, display behavioral issues, stay up throughout the night, or manage diabetes controlled by oral medication. These medical supports are integrated into daily routines so residents receive consistent oversight and timely interventions without leaving the community.

Care is delivered by staff who have passed background checks and who remain awake on night shift. An activity director coordinates structured engagement throughout the day, while 24-hour staff and a pull-cord alert system maintain security. Direct care can include full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while mealtimes remain self-service for those able to eat independently. When mobility is a concern, trained personnel provide standby or supervisory help with walkers to ensure safe transfers.

Resident apartments vary, but many offer private bathrooms, basic furnishings, individual temperature controls, and cable service, with routine housekeeping included. Because layouts differ, not every unit carries every feature, so prospective residents and families are encouraged to confirm specific details during a visit.

Meals follow a set menu prepared by dietary staff, with snacks available between scheduled dining times. The kitchen team can adjust textures, portion sizes, and ingredients to accommodate physician-ordered diet modifications or other nutritional requirements, aligning with each resident’s care plan.

On-site conveniences include a barber and beauty shop as well as community internet access to support communication and recreation.
