Altenheim Shurmer Place Memory Assisted Living provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, designed to support residents with moderate dementia. The community is prepared for care challenges such as daytime and nighttime wandering, elopement risk, behavioral issues, and residents who remain awake through the night. Clinical oversight extends to special diets, oral and injection-based diabetes management, and sliding-scale insulin.
The building is staffed with RNs and LPNs, supported by an on-call nurse available at any hour. Background-checked caregivers remain awake on night shift, and the property maintains 24-hour security. Residents can summon help through pull cords and personal emergency response systems. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and caregivers can manage transfers that involve walkers, wheelchairs, standby support, or a one-person lift. Podiatry services are provided on site to reduce the need for outside appointments.
Accommodation options include suites with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual climate controls, and cable; some but not all units have every listed feature. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are performed by staff to keep living spaces orderly.
Dining services offer a set menu, an on-order option for added flexibility, and snacks throughout the day. The kitchen can prepare gluten-free, vegetarian, and other physician-directed diet modifications to align with each resident’s care plan.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and movie rooms, a wellness center, community internet service, and landscaped gardens. Transportation is provided and the property sits near public transit for additional convenience.
