The Arbors at Westport Estates in Marshall, MO is a dedicated Memory Care community. Licensed nurses are on site or on call around the clock to oversee medication management, monitor chronic conditions and respond to emergencies. Care staff receive dementia-specific training and provide cueing, redirection and behavior support tailored to each resident’s cognitive abilities. Regular health assessments, coordination with outside physicians, on-site physical, occupational and speech therapy, and secure perimeters designed to reduce wandering risks round out the medical services available.
Beyond medical oversight, residents receive help with daily activities such as bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting and mobility. Care plans are reviewed frequently and adjusted as conditions change. The community arranges transportation to medical appointments, schedules on-site visits from podiatrists and other specialists, and offers respite stays when space allows. A structured calendar of small-group programs targets memory stimulation, social engagement and gentle exercise, and staff follow fall-prevention and infection-control protocols set by state guidelines.
Accommodations include private and companion suites equipped with emergency call systems, accessible bathrooms and basic cable. Some floor plans add kitchenettes, individually controlled thermostats or walk-in showers. Not all accommodations include every feature. Housekeeping, personal laundry and maintenance are handled by staff, and residents have access to secured courtyards, shared living rooms and an activity lounge.
Meals are served three times daily in a central dining room, with snacks and beverages available between meals. Menu planning is overseen by a dietitian to meet nutritional guidelines, and modified textures or therapeutic diets are prepared on request. Staff provide mealtime assistance for residents who need help eating, and caregivers monitor food and fluid intake. Families are welcome to reserve guest meals, and private dining space can be arranged for special occasions.
