DEMENTIA CARE AT SOUTHWOODS LODGE

Southwoods Lodge is our Assisted Living facility for dementia care. This unique residence is specifically designed, furnished and appointed to provide a high quality home for people living with dementia and related symptoms. The architecture and interior details are distinct and have been recognized as progressive in national publications for their focus on a residential, rather than a medical environment.

The 24 accommodations were created on a residential scale and purposely limited to a small group setting. Specially trained Hillcrest associates follow individual care plans for each resident and ensure that each care plan is implemented in a professional, thoughtful and caring manner. There are six private and nine semi-private rooms, each with its own bathroom. Residents are encouraged to bring their own familiar furniture and decorations with them to their new home at Southwoods Lodge.

A country kitchen encourages participation in the familiar home activities of preparing and sharing meals. The intimate living room gives family and friends a pleasant place to visit with their loved ones. Two colorful, secured perimeter gardens invite residents to rest, wander and enjoy the temperate climate amid walks, different gardens flowers, grassy spaces, fish pond and sheltered nooks. All areas are closely monitored to ensure the safety of all residents.

Daily activities are planned while specific events follow major holidays. Our staffing is also scheduled so as to provide continuity and familiar unity for the residents each day.
