Villas of Sycamore Creek Ranch at The Heights is dedicated to Memory Care, supporting residents who are living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. The program is built to address the full spectrum of cognitive decline, offering structured routines, cueing, and activities that help maintain abilities and reduce confusion. Families often choose this setting because it can accept individuals who wander during the day or night, present behavioral challenges, or are at risk for elopement, providing a safe alternative to remaining at home.
Medical oversight is comprehensive for a Memory Care setting. The secured community is staffed to monitor residents who require diabetic management—whether on injections, oral medication, or a sliding-scale regimen—and can also accommodate oxygen therapy, wound care, special diets, and care for residents under 60. A physician is available for ongoing medical review, and a speech therapist addresses swallowing issues that often accompany cognitive decline. Night staffing is prepared for residents who stay awake overnight, helping them remain calm and engaged without disrupting others.
Private and companion suites are offered, and families can select a layout that suits their budget and the resident’s mobility needs. Some rooms include outdoor access, others have wheelchair-accessible showers, and many allow residents to paint or decorate to reflect personal tastes. Cable television, Wi-Fi, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry services are part of the standard offering, though not every accommodation contains every feature, so it is important to confirm specifics during a tour.
Dining is designed to support both nutrition and the swallowing challenges common in dementia. Meals are provided on a set menu with all-day dining options, and snacks are available around the clock. The culinary team prepares low- or no-sodium, no-sugar, vegetarian, and other physician-ordered diets, with mechanical-chopped, puréed, and thickened liquid textures as needed. Guest meals can be arranged so families can share time together without leaving the community.
Residents have access to a swimming pool, indoor and outdoor walking paths, an activity center, and a library & computer lounge. Daily programming features reminiscence and sensory-based sessions, while clubs and community groups encourage social involvement. Regular events include birthday parties, dances, live music, and scheduled social outings, helping residents stay active and connected in familiar, supervised settings.
