The Heights On Valley Ranch offers a dedicated memory care program designed for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Licensed nurses are on site around the clock to oversee medication administration, monitor chronic conditions, coordinate with outside physicians, and respond to health changes. Care plans are individualized, updated regularly, and include help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and grooming. The community also provides scheduled transportation for off-site medical appointments and partners with visiting rehabilitative therapists to deliver physical, occupational, and speech therapy as prescribed.
Beyond direct medical oversight, the community maintains a secure environment tailored to memory care needs, including keypad-controlled entries and monitored outdoor areas. Structured daily programming incorporates cognitive exercises, familiar routines, and small-group activities to support engagement and reduce agitation. Staff receive ongoing dementia-specific training to reinforce techniques for redirection and communication. Family members have access to care conferences and support resources, allowing them to stay informed and involved in their loved one’s plan of care.
Residences include a selection of private and companion suites featuring emergency call systems, step-in showers with safety bars, individual climate controls, and basic cable. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance services are provided on a recurring schedule. Some layouts offer additional storage or patio access, but not all accommodations have all the features.
Meals are prepared on site and served restaurant style in a central dining room, with menus reviewed by a registered dietitian to ensure they meet nutritional guidelines for older adults. Pureed or mechanically altered meals are available when needed, and staff can provide cueing or full assistance for residents who have difficulty eating independently. Snacks and beverages are accessible throughout the day, and families are welcome to arrange private dining for special occasions.
