Special Care Unit

The Special Care Unit was designed to serve the unique needs of people with Alzheimer's Disease or other memory impairments. The unit features 15 private rooms, 2 semi-private rooms, a beauty shop, laundry, and dining room.

Our focus is to help adults with memory loss remain as independent as possible within a safe, structured environment. The low stimulus environment reduces frustration and promotes a sense of security and well being.

Our specially trained staff attends to the physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs of the residents. We strive to promote dignity and the best quality of life possible.

The Special Care Unit provides a warm, comfortable atmosphere with home-like settings. A "Memory Box" outside each room helps residents identify their room by displaying photographs of loved ones and other personal items. Beautifully-furnished common areas beckon residents and their visitors to chat.
