The Grove on Forest Lane offers both Assisted Living and dedicated Memory Care, giving families a single setting whether a resident needs occasional cueing or comprehensive cognitive support. The team is trained and equipped to handle a wide range of conditions, including residents who wander during the day or night, elopement risk, combative or other challenging behaviors, and those who stay awake through the night. Clinical capabilities extend to wound care, oxygen use, complex dietary needs, diabetes management with oral medications or insulin injections, and care for residents under 60. The community confirms that it can accommodate advanced dementia, so residents do not have to move again as their disease progresses.
Care delivery is reinforced by background-checked staff and doors that are alarmed for security. On-site services include licensed nursing, medication management, hospice coordination, and scheduled visits from occupational, physical, and podiatry professionals as well as an optometrist. The environment is purpose-built for memory loss, and the staff provides full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer support ranges from basic standby with a walker to two-person or full Hoyer lift transfers, ensuring residents with limited mobility can remain in place as needs increase. Incontinence and ambulatory care are also available.
Residents choose from several accommodation layouts, all of which are wired for cable so personal televisions can be set up easily. Some apartments include additional features such as larger closets or views of the garden, but these options vary, and not every unit offers every feature. Families are encouraged to review floor plans during a tour to determine what best aligns with their preferences and budget.
Meals follow a set menu that rotates to cover nutritional requirements while providing variety. The culinary team works with clinical staff to modify textures, carbohydrate counts, sodium levels, and other diet elements for residents with diabetes, cardiac restrictions, or other physician-ordered guidelines. Staff members are available in the dining room to provide full assistance for those who need help cutting food, prompting, or hand-over-hand feeding.
Amenities include a barber and beauty shop for routine hair care, internet access throughout common areas and apartments, landscaped communal gardens for supervised outdoor time, and an on-site library for quiet reading or small group activities. Pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
