Ciel of Tri-Cities offers a dedicated memory-care program for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Licensed nurses are on duty around the clock to monitor chronic conditions, administer medications, and respond to emergencies. The clinical team completes regular cognitive and health assessments, updates individualized care plans, and coordinates with physicians, pharmacists, and rehabilitation specialists who visit the community. Staff members receive ongoing training in dementia care techniques, fall prevention, and behavioral de-escalation to ensure residents’ safety and comfort.
Beyond medical oversight, the community provides structured daily routines designed to reduce confusion and anxiety. Caregivers assist with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and toileting, while encouraging residents to maintain independence when possible. Scheduled small-group programs—reminiscence sessions, sensory activities, and simple physical exercises—support social engagement and help preserve cognitive skills. Housekeeping, laundry service, and transportation to local medical appointments are included so residents and families can focus on health and well-being.
Accommodations consist of studio and companion suites equipped with accessible bathrooms, emergency call systems, and individual climate controls. Some floor plans include private showers and small kitchenettes, while others share common bathing areas; not all accommodations have all the features. Hallways are wide and well lit, and secured exterior doors and enclosed courtyards limit the risk of wandering. Maintenance staff handles routine repairs, and weekly housekeeping service keeps living spaces clean.
Residents receive three meals a day in the main dining room, with menus planned by a dietitian to meet nutritional guidelines and special diets such as low-sodium or diabetic. Table service helps residents who need cueing or physical assistance, and finger-food options are available for those who have difficulty using utensils. Snacks and beverages are accessible throughout the day, and families can arrange guest meals or celebrate special occasions in a private dining area. The culinary team regularly reviews feedback to adjust portion sizes, seasoning, and meal schedules to match residents’ needs.
