Stone Lodge Memory Care is dedicated exclusively to residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. The community offers a secure memory-care environment staffed around the clock by caregivers trained in redirection, behavior management, and specialized communication techniques. Licensed nursing oversight is available, including coordination with outside physicians, medication administration, and regular health status monitoring. Families looking for temporary placement can take advantage of respite and short-term stays, and individuals who need diabetic management receive assistance with glucose monitoring, insulin administration, and diet compliance.
Beyond core medical needs, Stone Lodge provides structured daily routines designed to minimize confusion and encourage familiarity. Care plans are individualized and reviewed frequently, making adjustments as a resident’s condition evolves. Assistance with bathing, dressing, and other activities of daily living is delivered with an emphasis on preserving dignity. The community maintains a low staff-to-resident ratio, uses secured indoor and outdoor spaces to reduce exit-seeking risk, and employs fall-prevention protocols that include regular safety checks and motion-sensing technology.
Private and companion suites are available on the ground floor for easy access, and some are equipped with individual climate controls, wheelchair-friendly layouts, and in-room Wi-Fi. Certain units include features such as a central fireplace view or quick access to the outdoor patio, but not every accommodation offers every feature listed. Common areas include a piano lounge, television room, and several quiet seating nooks, all of which are air-conditioned. Resident parking is on site for those who still drive, and cats are welcome in designated areas when care plans allow.
Dining follows a flexible schedule with anytime meal service, meaning residents can eat when hunger cues strike rather than at fixed times. The culinary team prepares three daily meals plus snacks, offering no-sugar-added, low-sodium, gluten-free, and fully vegan options alongside standard fare. Special dining programs accommodate adaptive utensils and finger-food menus for those with dexterity challenges, and room service is available for residents who prefer or require in-suite dining. Guest meals can be arranged, and seasonal barbecues and patio picnics are scheduled when weather permits.
Residents have access to a varied calendar that balances cognitive stimulation and recreation. On-site activities include sensory-based and reminiscence programs, Montessori and Live Well sessions, art classes, karaoke, trivia, and stretching classes. Live music, theater, and dance performances visit regularly, while holiday parties, birthday celebrations, happy hours, and community dances add social variety. Raised garden beds support the gardening club, and light-therapy programs are offered for mood regulation. Scheduled day trips, intergenerational events, and outings to local attractions round out the week, ensuring engagement beyond the campus grounds.
