Watertown – Edgewood Cedar View provides a dedicated memory care program for residents living with moderate dementia. The care team is trained in cognitive support techniques, redirection strategies, and behavior monitoring designed to help residents maintain daily routines and reduce confusion. Care plans are individualized and reviewed regularly with the resident’s physician, ensuring that medical needs, medication regimens, and therapy recommendations are followed closely.
The community maintains an awake night-shift staff, so help is available around the clock. Caregivers can assist with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting when residents need some physical support, and they track changes in mobility or health status to alert nursing leadership promptly. Access doors are monitored to reduce wandering risk, and safety checks are performed throughout the day and night to support resident security.
Resident accommodations range from studio suites to one-bedroom layouts. Units may have private or shared bathrooms, individual climate controls, and basic kitchenettes, though specific features vary by apartment; families should confirm the exact amenities in the floor plan they select. Emergency response pull cords or pendants and wheelchair-accessible bathrooms are standard in many, but not all, residences.
Meals are served three times daily in a central dining room, with menus planned to meet general nutrition guidelines while accommodating common dietary restrictions such as low-sugar or low-sodium needs. Snacks are available between meals, and staff are present to cue or assist residents who need help cutting food or managing utensils. Some apartments have small kitchenettes, but cooking is not required because the culinary team handles meal preparation and clean-up.
The community features a small wellness center for basic exercise and physician-ordered therapy sessions, internet access throughout common areas and many residences, a lending library for quiet reading, and organized special-interest clubs that give residents structured ways to stay socially engaged.
