Ciel of Spokane is a dedicated memory care community that manages a wide range of medical needs common to dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Staff are trained to respond to wandering behaviors at any time of day, address elopement risks, handle combative or other behavioral challenges, and care for residents who stay awake through the night. Clinical supports include wound care, oxygen management, accommodation of special therapeutic diets, and oversight for residents with diabetes whether controlled by oral medication or insulin injections. The program is designed to accept and support advanced dementia conditions, ensuring consistency of care as needs progress.
Medical oversight is reinforced by an on-site RN or LPN, a 24-hour nurse on call, and an awake night shift. All employees undergo background checks, and security measures include fenced outdoor areas, door alarms, and in-room pull cords that alert staff. Podiatry services are provided on site, reducing the need for off-campus appointments. Residents who require full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, or toileting receive hands-on help, and transfer capabilities range from walker or wheelchair aid to one-person and two-person assists, full transfer with a Hoyer lift, or total bed-bound care. An activity director coordinates daily programming to promote engagement and routine.
Accommodations at Ciel of Spokane include a selection of private suites, some with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual climate controls, and cable service. Residents may personalize their rooms with paint or décor, subject to safety guidelines, but not every unit contains every listed feature.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet nutritional guidelines, with options for therapeutic diets and texture modifications as ordered by physicians. Snacks are available throughout the day, and staff monitor intake for residents who need cueing or full feeding assistance. Indoor and outdoor dining spaces support a calm environment tailored to cognitive needs.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, a movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and both indoor and patio dining areas. Additional services include massage therapy, motion and safety monitoring technology, music therapy, and community-wide communication through LifeLoop. Scheduled transportation is provided, and the community is also close to public transit options for family visits and medical appointments.
