The Wellington in Liberty, MO offers dedicated memory-care services designed for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Licensed nurses are on site around the clock to oversee medication management, monitor chronic conditions, handle health-related emergencies, and coordinate with outside physicians. Direct-care staff assist with bathing, dressing, grooming, continence support, and mobility as needed, always adapting the level of help to each resident’s care plan. Regular health assessments track cognitive and physical changes so that interventions can be adjusted promptly.
Additional clinical supports include secured areas and monitored entries to reduce wandering risk, a community-wide emergency call system, and behavior management protocols overseen by credentialed professionals. Team members receive recurrent dementia-specific training and implement structured daily programs—such as reminiscence activities, cognitive games, and low-stimulus exercises—to help maintain residents’ remaining abilities. The community arranges on-site therapy services, schedules transportation to external medical appointments, and partners with hospice or home health providers when higher acuity care is required.
Living accommodations range from private studios to companion suites. Floor plans may feature large windows, individual climate controls, and wheelchair-accessible bathrooms with step-in showers, while select units add small kitchenettes or additional storage. Every suite is equipped with a call system linked to the care team, and weekly housekeeping and personal laundry services are provided. Not all accommodations have all the listed features, so families should confirm unit specifics during a tour.
Residents receive three daily meals prepared on site, with menus reviewed by dietitians to support regular, diabetic, low-sodium, and texture-modified diets. Meals are served restaurant-style in a communal dining room to encourage social interaction, and room service is available for those who feel ill or prefer to eat privately. Between meals, hydration stations and stocked snack areas remain open for easy access. The culinary staff welcomes input from families, and a private dining space can be reserved for special occasions or holiday gatherings.
