Our twenty-nine bed Alzheimer Unit is restraint free. For the residents' safety, access to the
campus is controlled through the use of an electronic patient monitoring system. This system
provides security for the resident while allowing access to the many facility amenities. The
Alzheimer Unit is an extension of the rest of our home, and as such, residents are encouraged
to dine in the main dining area as well as attend the many social functions held throughout
the home.
Familiarity and comfort are achieved by maintaining the same staff on the Unit consistently
including Nursing, Housekeeping and Activities Personnel. Activities on the Unit incorporate
tasks of daily living that are routine and familiar to the resident creating a feeling of
"family" and "home." The Unit is supervised by an LPN trained in Alzheimer
programming.
