Mitchell – Edgewood Mc is set up as a memory-care community designed to serve older adults living with moderate dementia. Care is centered on evidence-based practices for cognitive decline, including structured daily routines, cueing techniques, and an environment arranged to limit confusion. Licensed nurses oversee medication management and health monitoring, coordinating with outside physicians and therapists when changes in condition occur. The goal is to support residents’ remaining abilities, reduce agitation, and keep hospital transfers to a minimum.

Around-the-clock staffing includes an awake night-shift team so assistance is never delayed during overnight hours. Direct-care staff provide some physical help with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting; residents are encouraged to perform the portions of each task they can still manage to maintain independence. Regular safety checks, secured entries, and wander-alert technology address exit-seeking behaviors common in dementia. Families receive timely updates on care plans and any notable changes in health status.

Accommodations range from private rooms to shared suites. Many units feature in-room bathrooms with walk-in showers, individual climate controls, large closets, and emergency pull cords, though not every room offers each of these elements. Housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are included so residents can focus on social engagement and therapy sessions rather than daily chores.

Meals are prepared under the guidance of a dietitian and served in a central dining room that encourages social interaction. The kitchen offers three scheduled meals and between-meal snacks, with menu adaptations such as mechanically altered textures or sugar-controlled options when clinically indicated. Staff remain on hand to cue, set up, or physically assist residents who need extra help during mealtimes.

Residents have access to an on-site wellness center for supervised exercise, community-wide internet service for staying in touch with family, a library stocked with large-print and dementia-friendly materials, and a rotation of special-interest clubs that range from music appreciation to gentle gardening. These offerings are intended to promote physical health, cognitive stimulation, and social connection without overwhelming participants.
