Mandan – Edgewood offers two levels of care: Assisted Living for residents who need daily support while maintaining much of their independence, and Memory Care designed specifically for individuals living with moderate dementia. Care plans are individualized, and licensed nurses oversee medication administration, health monitoring, and coordination with outside medical providers. The Memory Care program follows evidence-based protocols that emphasize familiar routines, cueing, and low-stimulus environments to help residents manage cognitive changes safely.
A night-shift team remains awake and in the building, ensuring 24-hour response capability. During all shifts, caregivers provide some physical assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, adjusting the level of help as needs change. Staff complete ongoing training in dementia communication, fall prevention, and infection control. Regular health checks, scheduled transportation to medical appointments, and on-site rehabilitation partners help residents maintain or regain functional abilities.
Accommodations include studio, one-bedroom, and companion layouts. Depending on the unit selected, residents may have features such as a kitchenette, step-in shower, individual climate controls, and an emergency call system that links directly to the care team. Housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are provided, but not every apartment contains every listed feature, so it is useful to confirm specific details when touring.
Dining services prepare three daily meals plus snacks in a central dining room, with room-service options when residents are ill or recovering. Menus are planned by a dietitian to meet nutritional guidelines and can be modified for diabetes management, low-sodium requirements, or mechanically altered textures. Staff are available in the dining room to provide cueing or direct assistance with eating when needed, supporting independence while ensuring adequate intake.
Residents can make use of a wellness center equipped for light strength and balance exercises, connect online through campuswide internet access, and borrow reading material from an on-site library. Special interest clubs—ranging from book discussions to hobby groups—offer additional opportunities for social engagement without leaving the property.
