Sioux Falls – Edgewood Mc is structured around a Memory Care program designed for residents with moderate dementia conditions. The community concentrates on evidence-based approaches that help sustain cognition, reduce agitation, and maintain daily living skills. Individualized care plans are reviewed regularly by licensed nurses, and on-site medication management supports accurate dosing and timely refills. Coordination with outside physicians, therapists, and pharmacies is arranged when a resident’s care plan calls for additional clinical input, keeping medical oversight continuous.
Staff coverage includes an awake night shift, so residents have access to trained personnel 24 hours a day. Direct-care staff provide some physical assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, matching help to the resident’s current level of function. Safety measures are reinforced by secured doors and monitoring systems that discourage wandering while still allowing freedom of movement within dedicated living areas. Families receive status updates and can request care conferences whenever changes in condition occur.
Accommodation options generally include private and companion suites equipped with emergency call systems and barrier-free bathrooms, though not every unit contains every feature. Some rooms offer added storage, while others may have walk-in showers or small kitchenettes; availability depends on current inventory and prior reservations. Housekeeping, laundry, and routine maintenance are provided on a set schedule so residents do not need to manage these tasks.
Daily meals are prepared on site and served in a communal dining room where staff can cue or assist residents who need help initiating or completing a meal. Modified textures, diabetic-friendly menus, and low-sodium alternatives are available upon physician order or family request, but not all menu items meet every dietary need each day. Hydration stations remain open between meals, and snack options are offered during planned activity periods and in the evening.
Residents can use a multipurpose Wellness Center for exercise classes or one-on-one sessions prescribed by therapists. Internet access is available throughout the building, allowing residents to stay in contact with family or stream personal content. A dedicated library space offers large-print books and quiet reading areas, and staff coordinate special interest clubs that range from current events discussion groups to hobby circles focused on crafts or music.
