Special care provides a comprehensive program for those
with Alzheimer's Disease, Multi-Infarct Dementia (MID), Parkinson's disease, and other similar dementias.
People with these dementias are most comfortable when they are cared for in a family-like setting. Wesley Ridge's individual bedrooms and home-like common areas establish a stress-reduced atmosphere so residents can retain a maximum level of physical and cognitive functions.
Helping Residents be at Their Best
Special Care is uniquely designed to meet the needs of people with dementia. Each resident's private studio apartment has a curio cabinet adjacent to the door for personal objects. This helps residents identify their rooms when they can no longer remember numbers or orient themselves to a place.
Day Care Programming for Those With Dementia
A special daytime only program is offered for individuals with advanced dementia and more difficult behaviors in Wesley Ridge's unique Special Care residential setting.
Rehabilitation Services
Rehabilitation offers physical, occupational and speech therapies for clients, caregivers and the general public. The rehabilitation services available in Special Care provides a unique opportunity for follow-up therapy after discharge from the hospital or nursing home, with an illness or injury in a convenient setting without the need for transportation to other outside facilities.
