Silverado Lee’s Summit focuses exclusively on memory care and is prepared to support residents with a wide spectrum of dementia-related needs. The team is trained to manage behaviors such as wandering at any time of day, exit seeking, combativeness, and other complex behavioral issues. Clinical protocols are in place for residents who are up all night, require wound management, need oxygen therapy, or must follow special diets. Diabetic care covers oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale regimens. By concentrating on these advanced medical requirements, the community is positioned to serve individuals with early to late-stage dementia.
Care delivery is underpinned by registered or licensed nurses on staff, with a nurse on call around the clock. The building maintains 24-hour staffing and security, including fenced perimeters, alarmed doors, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems that alert caregivers. Assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting is available at the full-help level if needed. Transfer support ranges from standby aid to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers, and staff are trained to manage residents who rely on walkers, wheelchairs, or are bed bound.
Apartments can include a private bathroom and independent temperature controls, although these features are not present in every unit. Each living space is designed to reduce confusion for residents with memory impairment, and safety features such as emergency call systems are standard.
Meals follow a set menu, but the culinary team provides diet modifications and management for conditions like diabetes or physician-ordered restrictions. Consistent meal times and familiar dishes help residents maintain routine, and clinical oversight ensures nutritional goals are met.
The campus is wheelchair accessible and offers communal gardens, three enclosed courtyards, nature-themed neighborhoods, resident spas, a relaxation room, a putting green, secure walking paths, sunrooms, and a library. These spaces give residents multiple options for safe movement, quiet time, or supervised recreation within a secure environment.
