Life Care Center of Medina provides a dedicated Memory Care program designed for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, including advanced conditions. The clinical team is experienced in managing wandering behaviors morning or evening, elopement risk, combative or other behavioral issues, and “up all night” sleep patterns. Nurses can administer oral or injectable diabetes medications, follow sliding-scale protocols, oversee oxygen therapy, tend complex wounds, and coordinate specialized diets for cardiac, renal, or other medical needs. The community is also able to admit residents under 60 who require the same high level of oversight.
Round-the-clock care is delivered by RNs and LPNs, with an on-site nurse available 24 hours a day. All staff undergo background checks, and an awake night shift responds to in-room pull-cord alerts. A credentialed activity director adapts programs to each resident’s cognitive level, while on-site podiatry visits support mobility and foot health. Personal-care aides provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained in every transfer technique from simple walker standby to two-person or Hoyer lift moves for bed-bound residents.
Living accommodations range from furnished suites with private bathrooms to rooms that allow residents to bring furniture, paint walls, and adjust their own thermostat. Cable service is available, although not every room includes all these features, so families should confirm specific details during a tour.
The culinary team offers a set daily menu and an on-order option at each meal. Snacks are available between meals, and certified dietary staff coordinate texture modifications, carbohydrate counts, and other physician-ordered diet plans to match each resident’s medical requirements.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and movie rooms, a wellness center, high-speed internet, and landscaped communal gardens. Regular religious services are held in the building. Housekeeping, personal laundry, medication management, and scheduled transportation for appointments or errands are included to simplify day-to-day living.
