Ramsey Woods in Cudahy, Wisconsin is a memory-care community equipped to serve residents with mild to advanced dementia. Care teams are trained to manage wandering behaviors both day and night, intervene in elopement risks, and support residents who are prone to behavioral issues or who stay up throughout the night. Nursing staff can monitor and treat wounds, administer oxygen, and manage complex diabetic needs whether they are oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale protocols. Special diets are routinely ordered and monitored, and the community is one of the few that will admit residents under 60 when memory-care criteria are met.

Clinical support is organized around a licensed nurse presence, with an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift provides continual supervision. Safety features include a fenced rear area, alarmed doors, and in-room pull cords that alert staff. Podiatry services are provided on site, and the community is able to accept residents with co-occurring psychiatric conditions. For daily living needs, caregivers can give full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility support ranges from standby help to one-person transfers and accommodates walkers and wheelchairs.

Resident rooms can be furnished by the community or personalized by incoming residents, who may paint or decorate if they wish. Some units offer private bathrooms and cable hookups, while others may have shared arrangements or require personal equipment, so it is best to confirm specifics during a tour.

Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet nutritional guidelines, with alternate choices for residents requiring diet modifications. Snacks are available between meals to help stabilize blood sugar levels and provide additional calories when needed.
