Eagle Springs in College Place, WA is a dedicated memory care community designed for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. The community accepts individuals needing ongoing memory support as well as those requiring diabetes monitoring or a short-term respite stay after surgery, illness, or caregiver vacation. Each resident benefits from 24-hour oversight in a fully secured environment, reducing the risk of wandering and ensuring prompt response to emergencies. Speech therapy and structured cognitive programming are available, and all medications are administered and tracked by licensed staff under a strict medication-management protocol.
Beyond fundamental memory services, Eagle Springs brings multiple healthcare professionals on site to minimize the need for outside appointments. Physical, occupational, and speech therapists hold scheduled sessions in dedicated therapy areas; a podiatrist and optometrist visit regularly; hospice and incontinence support are offered as needs evolve; and both ambulatory and non-ambulatory care plans are accommodated. The community is a memory-care-only setting, so staff training, activity schedules, safety systems, and the overall layout are tailored to cognition-related challenges. A Dakim Brain Fitness program and a pet-focused therapy option further reinforce cognitive engagement and emotional well-being.
Apartments come in ground-floor layouts with step-free access, individual climate control, and the option for cable, Wi-Fi, and private phone or internet service. Certain suites add wheelchair-accessible showers or extra square footage for small pets, subject to established weight limits and the resident’s care plan. Common areas include indoor lounges with a piano or organ for casual music sessions, a TV room, and Wi-Fi zones for video calls. Outdoor courtyards and patios provide space for fresh air, while secure walking paths allow supervised strolls without leaving the property. Not every unit offers every listed feature, so a tour is the best way to confirm specific accommodations.
Dining follows an anytime-dining model with three chef-prepared meals daily and snacks available around the clock. Menus accommodate vegetarian, vegan, low-sodium, and no-sugar options, and guest meals can be arranged with notice. Residents may choose seated restaurant-style service in a communal dining room, take meals on the patio during barbecues or picnics, or request in-room service when feeling unwell or when family members visit. Diet orders tied to diabetes management or other medical needs are coordinated with clinical staff to ensure nutritional compliance.
Daily life at Eagle Springs includes a schedule of activities intended to stimulate memory and maintain physical health. On-site programs range from art classes, trivia, and Wii bowling to live music, karaoke, and holiday or birthday parties. Residents can garden in raised beds, attend educational talks, join fitness or stretching classes, and participate in clubs that meet in the library and computer lounge. Off-site day trips, social outings, and swimming sessions are organized for those who can safely travel, while indoor and outdoor walking paths support routine exercise close to home.
