CountryHouse at Kearney is a dedicated memory-care community serving individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias. In addition to long-term residency, the community accepts respite or short-term stays, providing families with temporary support when needed. Staff members are trained to monitor diabetes, manage medications, and coordinate insulin administration. On-site speech therapy is available for residents who have communication or swallowing difficulties, ensuring that care plans address both cognitive and medical needs.
The building operates as a fully secured community, reducing wandering risks and supporting resident safety at all hours. Licensed nurses coordinate care alongside occupational and physical therapists, while a podiatrist visits regularly for foot care. The layout and programming are designed specifically for memory loss, and the team offers ambulatory assistance, incontinence care, and hospice services when appropriate. Medication management is handled by clinical staff who oversee prescriptions, refills, and dosage accuracy.
Private and companion suites are offered, and select units are pet friendly for residents wishing to bring a small animal. Outdoor areas provide safe access to fresh air, and on-site parking accommodates visiting family members or residents who still drive. Some bathrooms include wheelchair-accessible showers, but not every accommodation includes every feature, so it is best to confirm specific apartment details during a tour.
All meals are prepared on site, with menus that can accommodate kosher requirements and vegetarian preferences. Three daily meals, plus snacks, are served in a communal dining room where staff can assist residents who need prompts or help with eating. Texture-modified options are available for those with swallowing issues, and hydration is monitored throughout the day.
Residents can spend time in the activity center, join clubs and small communities, or walk along indoor and outdoor paths designed for safe exploration. Reminiscence programs help residents engage with familiar memories, and supervised social outings extend activities beyond the campus. Because pets are allowed, it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
