The Arbors at Springfield Heights is a memory care community designed for older adults living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Licensed nurses and specially trained caregivers are on site around the clock, providing continuous health monitoring, medication management, glucose checks, and coordination with physicians and therapists. An on-call medical director is available for urgent clinical decisions, and the building is equipped with an emergency response system to address changes in condition without delay.
Beyond these clinical services, residents receive help with everyday activities such as bathing, dressing, mobility, and toileting. Care plans are reviewed regularly and adjusted in consultation with family members and healthcare professionals. The community maintains a secured environment with monitored exits to reduce wandering risk, and structured cognitive programs are scheduled daily to promote engagement and preserve remaining abilities. Scheduled transportation is offered for off-site medical appointments and specialty therapy sessions.
Accommodation options include private and companion suites outfitted with safety-oriented bathrooms, individual climate controls, and emergency call devices; some layouts add kitchenettes or patio access. Weekly housekeeping and personal laundry service are standard, while cable television and Wi-Fi are available in most units. Pets are allowed in designated areas of the community. It's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Not all accommodations have all the features mentioned, so prospective residents should confirm specific details during a tour.
Residents receive three daily meals prepared by culinary staff working with a registered dietitian to ensure menus meet nutritional guidelines and any physician-ordered diet restrictions, including diabetic and low-sodium plans. Meals are served in a communal dining room to encourage social interaction, with staff assistance available for those who need help with cutting food or maintaining adequate intake. Supplemental snacks and beverages are offered throughout the day, and hydration status is tracked. For individuals with memory-related eating challenges, adaptive utensils and calm dining cues are provided to support consistent nutrition.
