The Arbors at Highland Crest is dedicated exclusively to memory care, offering an environment designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Licensed nurses oversee care plans that are updated regularly with input from physicians, family, and on-site staff. Around-the-clock caregivers manage medication administration, monitor chronic conditions, and provide prompt assistance with mobility or behavioral needs. A secured perimeter, electronic door monitoring, and emergency alert systems aim to reduce wandering risks while still allowing safe movement within the community. Rehabilitation professionals visit for physical, occupational, and speech therapy as ordered, and transportation is arranged for off-site specialty appointments when required.
In addition to direct medical oversight, residents receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and continence management. Housekeeping, personal laundry, and linen services are handled on a set schedule so residents can focus on programmed cognitive exercises and recreational therapy. Structured daily routines include small-group activities, music sessions, and guided outdoor walks in a secured courtyard to promote familiar rhythms and reduce anxiety. Families can attend support meetings, and short-term respite stays are accepted when space is available, providing flexibility for caregivers who need temporary relief.
Accommodation options include private and companion suites equipped with an emergency call system, bathroom safety bars, and individual climate controls. Some floor plans add features such as kitchenettes, patio access, or extra storage space, but not all accommodations have all the features. Rooms come pre-furnished, yet residents may bring personal items to create a familiar setting. Cable, Wi-Fi, weekly housekeeping, and routine maintenance are included in the monthly fee, and staff complete nightly safety checks for added reassurance.
Dining services provide three daily meals prepared on site, with menus reviewed by a registered dietitian to address diabetic, low-salt, or mechanically softened diet requirements. Residents eat in a communal dining room where staff are present to cue, assist, or observe intake as needed. Snacks and beverages are available throughout the day, and hydration stations are placed in common areas. For residents who are ill or prefer quiet mealtimes, tray service to the suite can be arranged.
