Willow Creek Memory Care in Lee’s Summit, Missouri delivers a single level of care focused on residents who live with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Licensed nurses are on site around the clock to monitor health conditions, perform routine assessments, and coordinate with physicians, therapists, and pharmacies. Care plans are individualized and reviewed regularly, with staff trained in dementia-specific techniques such as redirection and cueing. Medication management, diabetic care, fall prevention programs, and emergency response protocols are all in place to reduce health risks and address changes in condition without delay.

Beyond its medical services, the community offers daily assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, and continence care, always aiming to maintain residents’ remaining abilities. An activities coordinator organizes cognitive exercises, low-impact fitness sessions, and small-group programs tailored to varying stages of memory loss. Secured entrances, motion-sensing alarms, and enclosed outdoor areas help prevent wandering while still allowing safe movement and fresh air. Scheduled transportation is available for off-site medical appointments, and family members receive regular care updates and education to support continuity between the community and home.

Residences include a choice of private and companion suites fitted with bathroom grab bars, emergency call systems, and individual climate controls; select rooms add courtyard views, step-in showers, or additional storage, but not all accommodations have every feature. Cable television, basic Wi-Fi, routine housekeeping, and personal laundry service are provided, while maintenance staff handle repairs to minimize disruptions. Furnishings can be supplied, or residents may bring familiar items to create a more recognizable setting that supports orientation and comfort.

Meals are prepared on-site three times a day, with menus planned by a dietitian to meet nutritional guidelines and accommodate modified textures or physician-ordered diets. Staff members trained in dementia care assist during mealtimes to promote adequate intake and monitor for swallowing difficulties. Snacks and beverages are available throughout the day, and hydration carts circulate the halls to encourage fluid consumption. Families can review menus in advance, join their loved ones for special occasions, and provide feedback so the dining program continues to align with individual preferences.
