Sycamore Creek Ranch at Shenandoah is a dedicated memory-care community equipped to serve residents across the full spectrum of dementia, from early impairment to advanced stages. The team is trained to work with individuals who wander during the day or night, have elopement risk, exhibit combative or other behavioral issues, or remain awake overnight. Residents who rely on oxygen, require special diets, are under 60 years old, or manage diabetes—whether by oral medication, injections, or sliding scale—receive individualized oversight. Care planning is designed to stabilize health conditions while preserving daily routines and safety.
Registered and licensed nurses are on staff, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift, door alarms, fenced outdoor areas, and wander-guard technology provide continuous oversight. On-site medical offerings include podiatry, medication management, routine visits from a rounding primary-care physician, and psychiatric services for residents with mental-health needs. For daily living support, caregivers deliver full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer capabilities range from standby help for walker users to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound residents, ensuring that changing mobility needs can be met in one setting.
Private bathrooms are available in many suites, and residents may personalize their rooms with paint or décor, though features vary by accommodation. Cable television, routine housekeeping, and scheduled laundry services are offered to keep living spaces clean and comfortable; families should confirm availability of specific amenities when selecting a unit.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to clinical guidelines, with snacks offered between dining periods. The culinary staff manages diet modifications such as mechanically-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid textures and can align meals with physician-ordered restrictions, including specialized diabetic and other therapeutic diets.
Community amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, internet access, landscaped communal gardens, and on-site religious services. A full-facility back-up power system supports uninterrupted care during outages. The community welcomes pets; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
