The Willows at Meadow Branch has designed an area called Special Care
North which is specifically suited to meet the needs of Alzheimer's and
dementia residents. Special Care North is comprised of 20 private rooms
and an easily accessible dining room, living room, and activities room.
Secure surroundings and state-of-the-art safety features provide
security for adults who need special care. Residents can take afternoon
strolls in our enclosed wandering garden or relax in the gazebo on a
sunny afternoon. A daily calendar of structured activities such as
aromatherapy, sing-a-longs, storytelling and scavenger hunts give
residents a sense of purpose and well being.
For easy identification, we have color-coded the doors to the
resident's private apartments in the Alzheimer's and dementia wing. And
as a reminder of home, we have included a Plexiglas enclosed "memory
box" on the wall by the entrance of each apartment, which can be filled
with memorabilia reminiscent of family and friends.
A special care Coordinator oversees the programming and care plans of
those residents living in Special Care North. This person is a Licensed
Practical Nurse and works under the guidance of the Director of Nursing.
