Belgrade – Edgewood offers specialized memory care designed to support residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other advanced dementia conditions. The community places a high priority on medical oversight, providing on-site podiatry services and the capacity to accept residents who have underlying psychiatric issues that may accompany cognitive decline. Clinical coordination with outside providers is available as needed, allowing families to know that evolving medical needs can be addressed without unnecessary transfers.
Care delivery is built around full-time, awake staffing on the night shift to monitor safety and respond promptly to any situation. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and staff are trained to perform a range of transfers—from standby and walker support to one-person or two-person lifts—helping those who use wheelchairs or have limited mobility remain as independent as possible within safe parameters.
Accommodation options include rooms that may feature a private bathroom, cable hookup, routine housekeeping, and scheduled laundry services. Because layouts and amenities vary, not every residence offers every feature, and families are encouraged to verify specific unit details during a visit.
Meals are prepared to order, and the kitchen can modify diets to meet clinical guidelines or personal preferences. Residents can choose to dine in the common dining room, request in-room service when needed, and access snacks throughout the day to maintain consistent nutrition and hydration.
Community amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, a wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, an on-site library, spaces for religious services, and a variety of special-interest clubs. Scheduled transportation helps residents attend off-site appointments and community events, supporting continuity of care and engagement outside the building.
