Memory Haven Sumner specializes exclusively in memory care, supporting residents who live with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. The community provides structured programming, cueing, and supervision tailored to each stage of cognitive decline, and families can arrange respite or other short-term stays when temporary support is needed. Diabetes management is available, with staff monitoring blood glucose levels, coordinating medication schedules, and overseeing diet plans. Residents who require help maintaining or rebuilding communication skills have on-site access to a speech therapist, allowing therapy to be delivered without disrupting the daily routine.

Care takes place in a secured environment designed to reduce exit-seeking and wandering risks common to memory-care populations. Entry points are monitored, and trained team members are on duty around the clock to respond to medical alerts or behavioral changes promptly. Consistent staffing helps residents build familiarity with caregivers, an approach that can ease anxiety and support smoother daily transitions.

Private and semi-private suites are available, though not every unit contains every feature. Depending on location and layout, rooms may offer wheelchair-accessible showers, individual climate controls, Wi-Fi, and other accessibility modifications such as wide doorways and grab bars. Common areas include outdoor patios, a central fireplace lounge, and a piano or organ for resident use. Families are encouraged to review floor plans during tours to verify which configurations meet their needs.

Dining follows an all-day service model, allowing residents to eat on their own schedule rather than at fixed seating times. The culinary team prepares meals that can be ordered in low- or no-sodium, gluten-free, organic, or no-added-sugar versions, and visiting relatives can purchase guest meals so they can dine alongside loved ones. Menus rotate regularly to ensure balanced nutrition while supporting individualized dietary plans, including those designed for diabetes management.

Residents can spend free time in the activity center, browse the library or use computer workstations, or join scheduled social outings into the Sumner area. On campus, amenities include a swimming pool, jacuzzi, outdoor walking paths, and raised garden beds for light gardening. Birthday parties, live music events, and other group programs round out the calendar, offering structured opportunities for social engagement and sensory stimulation that complement the community’s therapeutic goals.
