Edgewood Fremont provides a dedicated Memory Care program designed for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. The community is prepared to address behaviors such as wandering and elopement through monitored entryways and care plans that support both daytime and nighttime safety. Staff members are trained to work with advanced dementia conditions, and the presence of medical personnel ensures that changes in cognitive or physical health are evaluated promptly.
Resident health needs are met by an on-site RN or LPN, with a nurse available on call 24 hours a day for urgent concerns. A fenced rear area adds another layer of security for individuals prone to exit-seeking. Direct care services cover full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while meals can be supported with some physical help as needed. Transfer assistance ranges from standby supervision for steady walkers to one-person transfers for wheelchair users, allowing residents to keep mobility devices they already rely on.
Living spaces include rooms equipped with private bathrooms, which can reduce nighttime confusion for residents in memory care. Scheduled laundry services are provided, so families do not need to manage day-to-day clothing care. Not every accommodation offers every feature, and availability may vary based on room selection and current occupancy.
Meals are served with attention to the dietary needs common in memory care settings, and staff are available to cue or assist residents who require help at the table. Snacks are stocked and accessible outside regular dining hours, supporting consistent nutrition and easier medication scheduling. Specific dietary preferences or medical restrictions can be discussed with the culinary team.
The building is fully wheelchair accessible, making common areas, dining spaces, and outdoor sections reachable for residents who use mobility devices or benefit from step-free navigation.
