Legacy Ridge in Gainesville, VA concentrates exclusively on memory-care and is prepared to manage every stage of cognitive decline, including advanced dementia. The community can accommodate residents who wander at any time of day, present behavioral issues, stay up all night, require oxygen, observe special diets, are younger than 60, or live with diabetes managed by oral medications, injections, or sliding scale protocols.
Round-the-clock clinical oversight includes an RN or LPN on staff, a nurse on site 24 hours a day, and an additional nurse on call. All team members undergo background checks, and an awake night shift maintains continuous supervision. Safety measures include door alarms, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems. Podiatry, dental services, and a therapy room are available on site, while caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer support ranges from standby help to one- or two-person lifts and accommodates walkers and wheelchairs.
Accommodation offerings feature private bathrooms, furnishings, individual climate controls, cable access, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry services, with the option to personalize paint colors or décor. Availability of these features can vary from one apartment to another.
