Stone Valley Memory Care in Reno, NV is dedicated exclusively to memory-care services for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Care plans are customized and overseen by licensed nurses who coordinate with on-site and visiting medical professionals, including a physician familiar with cognitive conditions and a speech therapist who supports residents with language or swallowing challenges. Staff members monitor chronic conditions such as diabetes, incorporating medication management and specialized dietary protocols to maintain stable blood-glucose levels.
The community is fully secured to reduce the risk of wandering and provide a safe setting for residents who may become disoriented. All team members receive dementia-specific training, and caregiver coverage is available around the clock for assistance with personal care, redirection, and emergency response. Short-term respite stays are offered, giving family caregivers a break while ensuring their loved ones receive the same structured routines and clinical oversight as long-term residents.
Apartments and suites are designed for accessibility and ease of navigation. Depending on the unit selected, residents may find wheelchair-accessible showers, individual climate control, cable or satellite TV, and in-room Wi-Fi. Some units feature direct access to outdoor areas, while others are located near the central fireplace lounge or have space for a personal piano or organ. Because floor plans vary, not every accommodation includes every listed feature, so families should confirm specific details during a tour.
Dining services emphasize both nutrition and familiarity. Three chef-prepared meals are served daily with an all-day dining option for residents who prefer flexible schedules. Menus include vegetarian selections, low- or no-sodium dishes, gluten-free and no-sugar alternatives, all designed to meet dietary orders such as those required for diabetes management. Guests are welcome to share meals, allowing families to maintain social connections in a comfortable setting.
Residents have access to an activity center that supports Montessori-based programs, reminiscence therapy, yoga and chair-yoga classes, and organized clubs and communities. The library and computer lounge, indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, and live-music events encourage engagement and movement. Staff coordinate social outings, birthday parties, dances, and other group activities to promote routine, structure, and social interaction aligned with memory-care best practices.
