The Landing of O’Fallon offers memory-care services designed for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Licensed nurses oversee care plans that include medication administration, glucose monitoring when needed, and regular wellness evaluations. Care staff receive dementia-specific training and remain on site around the clock, using structured routines and redirection techniques to lessen anxiety and wandering. A secured environment with controlled access supports resident safety, and the community’s cognitive engagement program is adjusted to each person’s abilities so that medical stability remains the primary focus.
Beyond direct nursing services, residents have access to 24-hour personal care that covers bathing, grooming, and other activities of daily living. Emergency response systems are in every apartment and are linked to staff pagers for quick intervention. The community coordinates with outside physicians, home health nurses, and hospice providers when higher levels of clinical support become necessary. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy can be arranged on site, and scheduled transportation is available for off-site medical appointments, lab work, and specialist visits.
Apartments are configured for single-occupancy memory-care living, and not all of them include every feature. Some suites have a private bathroom, and select units come furnished, while others allow residents to bring their own furniture. Residents who wish to personalize their environment may paint an accent wall or hang personal decorations in accordance with community guidelines. Each apartment includes basic safety features such as grab bars, non-skid flooring, and in-room call buttons; housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance services are provided by staff on a set schedule.
Meals are prepared in a commercial kitchen and served in a dedicated dining room that accommodates memory-care routines. Three daily meals meet nutritional guidelines set by a registered dietitian, and modified textures or specialized therapeutic diets are available when prescribed. Staff provide meal reminders, cueing, or full assistance based on individual needs, and hydration stations and snack offerings are accessible throughout the day. Families can arrange to dine with residents during scheduled visiting hours, and nutritional intake is documented so that nurses can track any changes that might require medical attention.
