Summer Wood Alzheimer’s Special Care Center in Moses Lake, WA offers a dedicated Memory Care program designed for residents living with all stages of dementia, including advanced conditions. The medical team can address wandering behaviors at any time of day, elopement risk, combative or other behavioral challenges, disrupted sleep patterns, wound care needs, oxygen use, special diets, and diabetic management whether by oral medication, insulin injections, or sliding scale.

The community maintains an RN or LPN on staff, a nurse on call around the clock, and an awake night shift. An activity director coordinates structured engagement throughout the day. Safety measures include 24-hour staffing, perimeter fencing, alarmed doors, and resident rooms equipped with pull-cord alerts. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments. Staff provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting as needed, and can accommodate mobility levels ranging from walker supervision to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers, including residents who are bed bound.

Private suites are available, and some include a private bathroom. Residents may personalize their rooms with paint or décor, and cable service is offered in select units. Not every accommodation has every feature, so confirming details during a tour is recommended.

Daily meals follow a set menu that can be modified for physician-ordered diets, diabetic requirements, or other nutritional directives. Snacks are available between meals, and staff provide total assistance at mealtimes for residents who need help with eating.

Common areas are wheelchair accessible and include a barber and beauty shop, a dedicated movie room, and secure communal gardens where residents can spend time outdoors under staff supervision.
