Cranberry House* in Newland, NC is a dedicated Memory Care community prepared to manage the clinical needs that often accompany moderate dementia. The staff is trained to monitor and redirect residents who wander in either the morning or evening, address elopement risks, and intervene when combative or other challenging behaviors arise. Support is also in place for residents who stay up throughout the night, ensuring safety and engagement at all hours.

Around-the-clock coverage includes an on-call nurse, an awake night shift, and a full complement of background-checked team members. Security personnel remain on site 24/7, and an Activity Director coordinates daily programming to keep residents engaged. For activities of daily living, caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Residents who use walkers or wheelchairs, or who require standby help or a one-person transfer, receive the necessary hands-on support to move safely.

Residents live in private or companion suites outfitted with individual temperature controls and cable access, although not every room offers every feature. Families can select the accommodation that best matches their budget and the resident’s personal preference, knowing each option is designed for ease of navigation and direct caregiver access.

Meals follow a set menu designed to meet nutritional guidelines, with the kitchen team prepared to adjust textures and ingredients for physician-ordered diet modifications. Staff monitor intake and provide feeding assistance when needed, ensuring residents maintain adequate hydration and nutrition.

On-site conveniences include a barber and beauty shop, allowing residents to stay well-groomed without leaving the property.
