Eagle Ridge Alzheimer’s Special Care in Denton is a dedicated memory-care community that serves residents with all stages of dementia, including advanced conditions. Care is designed for individuals who wander, exhibit elopement risk, show behavioral issues, stay up throughout the night, require oxygen, follow special diets, are under 60 years old, or manage diabetes with oral medications. All services fall under a single Memory Care license, allowing staff to concentrate exclusively on cognitive support and the medical complexities that accompany it.
To maintain safety and consistency, all team members undergo background checks, and an awake night shift is on duty alongside 24-hour security and a fenced rear perimeter. An activity director coordinates structured programs tailored to cognitive abilities. On-site clinical resources include nurses, a medication-management program, hospice coordination, therapists for physical, occupational, and ambulatory needs, a podiatrist, and a dentist. Staff provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and can manage transfers ranging from stand-by support to two-person assists for residents who use walkers or wheelchairs.
Accommodation options are offered both furnished and unfurnished; some come with cable service and regular housekeeping, while others do not, so families should verify room specifications during a tour. Layouts are designed to reduce confusion and support safe mobility for residents with memory loss.
Dining follows a set menu planned for consistency, nutrition, and ease of recognition. Modified textures and special diets are available, and nurses monitor oral medication schedules around mealtimes. Snacks are accessible throughout the day and evening to help stabilize blood sugar and accommodate residents who may not eat full meals at traditional hours.
Residents and visitors will find the property wheelchair accessible with curb-free paths, a wellness center for exercise and therapy sessions, reliable internet access in common areas, and secure communal gardens for supervised outdoor time. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and group outings.
