The Sheridan at Laumeier Park offers a single level of care—memory care—designed for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Licensed nurses are on-site around the clock to oversee medication management, monitor chronic conditions, and attend to urgent health needs. Care plans are individualized, and staff assist with bathing, dressing, mobility, and other activities of daily living, adjusting support as residents’ needs change. Routine health assessments, fall-prevention programs, and coordination with outside physicians help ensure that medical issues are identified and addressed promptly.
Additional care features emphasize resident safety and cognitive support. The memory-care neighborhood is secured, and each apartment is equipped with an emergency call system linked directly to caregivers. Structured daily programming focuses on cognitive stimulation, light exercise, and social engagement, all tailored to residents’ abilities. Specialized training enables caregivers to use validation and redirection techniques that reduce anxiety and agitation. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy services can be arranged on-site, and scheduled transportation is available for off-site medical appointments.
Accommodations consist of private and companion suites with barrier-free bathrooms, individual climate controls, and basic cable. Some units include kitchenettes or extra storage, while others may feature larger living areas; not all accommodations have all the features listed. Housekeeping, personal laundry, and maintenance services are provided, and staff handle linen changes on a regular schedule. Community common areas include secured outdoor courtyards, activity rooms, and comfortable lounges where residents can relax between scheduled programs.
Residents receive three daily meals prepared by the culinary team in a dining room that follows a consistent layout to minimize confusion. Menus are developed with input from dietitians to meet nutritional guidelines and accommodate physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium or diabetic plans. Staff offer cueing and assistance during meals for residents who need help eating, and adaptive utensils are available. Snacks and beverages are stocked throughout the day and evening to encourage proper hydration and caloric intake.
