Care Types
Mind & Memory Care Levels
- Our Mind & Memory Plan is for residents whose care needs consist primarily of cueing and reminders. Residents are appropriate for our Mind & Memory Care Plan if they generally exhibit mild cognitive impairment and no or limited behaviors such as aggression or resistance to care.
- Our Mind & Memory I Plan is for residents whose care needs consist primarily of a minimal level of physical assistance with activities of daily living, and minimal levels of cognitive impairment.
- Our Mind & Memory II Plan is for residents whose care needs require a moderate amount of physical assistance with several activities of daily living, and who generally exhibit moderate cognitive impairment.
- Our Mind & Memory III Plan is for residents whose care needs require a substantial amount of physical assistance with several activities of daily living, and who generally exhibit severe cognitive impairment and/or associated behaviors.
- Our Mind & Memory IV Plan is for residents who have extensive needs, for example: a need for total care with one or more activities of daily living, or a substantial amount of assistance is warranted on a daily basis.
- Our Mind & Memory V Plan is for residents who need total assistance with all aspects of care, as well as usage of a mechanical or electrical lift for transfers on an ongoing basis. They may also require extensive emotional/behavioral support.
Personalized, needs-based care to support individual abilities
Our residents have unique abilities and needs, and our individualized care plans account for both. At The Arbors, individuals with dementia are empowered to do some things independently and rely on our healthcare providers and caregivers for the help they need. Besides a dedicated medical director, we also offer full-time physical and occupational therapy and the ability to care for residents through the end of life.
Our program also focuses full-time on their emotional, social, intellectual and spiritual wellness with daily programs that give them feelings of purpose. Our dedicated programming team facilitates and encourages our residents to engage in programs like outings for shopping and apple picking at nearby orchards, community service projects, fitness classes, bowling and live musical performances.
