Edgewood in Fargo provides Assisted Living, Independent Living, and a secured Memory Care program, allowing residents to move between levels of support as needs change. The community is equipped to manage moderate dementia and a wide range of clinical issues, including wandering—day or night—elopement risk, combative or other behavioral concerns, and residents who are awake throughout the night. Nurses and caregivers monitor wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetic care whether the regimen involves oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale coverage. Residents under 60 who require the same clinical oversight can also be accommodated.
Care is reinforced by a 24-hour on-site nurse, awake night staff, background-checked team members, and a dedicated activity director. Doors are alarmed, Wander Guard technology is available, and every resident is protected by a PERS alert system that connects directly to staff. On-site medical services cover medication management, incontinence care, ambulatory assistance, and the Memory Care program. Assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting is offered for residents who need some physical help. Mobility support ranges from standby assistance for walkers to one- or two-person transfers, wheelchair help, and care for those who are bed-bound.
Apartments are designed for practicality, offering private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and cable service in select units; not every residence includes each feature, so it is best to confirm availability during a visit. Floor plans are arranged to reduce fall risks and to make it easy for caregivers to enter quickly if an alert is triggered.
Dining options include scheduled meals from a set menu, an on-order selection for personal preferences, and snacks that are available throughout the day and evening. Nutritional staff coordinate special diets ordered by physicians, and the kitchen works closely with nursing to adjust carbohydrate counts for diabetic residents. Independent Living residents may opt into medication-management monitoring and receive housekeeping and laundry services that are already included for Assisted Living.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a wellness center, internet access, and a library. A heated indoor pool provides low-impact fitness opportunities, and on-site religious services are scheduled regularly. Assisted Living laundry facilities remain available for personal loads. The property is near the Blue Line and other public transportation options, and staff can help arrange rides for medical appointments. A “testtest” area is currently being evaluated to add more resident engagement activities.
