Maple Grove Memory Care Red sits over in Carthage, Illinois, where it's licensed by the state under #5201337 and cares for up to 10 residents in its cozy senior apartments. The building offers both assisted living and memory care, so folks who have memory loss from dementia, Alzheimer's, or even Parkinson's can get the support they need, along with those who just want some help with everyday living. The place has all the basics covered-things like help with meals, laundry, cleaning, getting dressed, and taking medications, plus round-the-clock supervision, nurse on staff, and an emergency alert system in every apartment that makes it easier to ask for help quickly. Staff at Maple Grove Memory Care Red have training to help those with memory issues stay safer and engaged.
The apartments themselves come in studio or single bedroom layouts, with private bathrooms and emergency pull cords, plus washers and dryers in the rooms, so folks can do their own laundry or let the staff lend a hand. The building's secured, with keypad entry, on-site security 24/7, and active fall prevention plans to keep people steady on their feet, and if someone uses a walker or wheelchair, the staff is there to help with moving around and transfers. There's a community kitchen, a dining room where scheduled meals or all-day dining options are served-including pureed and special diets-as well as chef-inspired meals and snacks between meals to suit many tastes and health needs.
Common areas include rooms for games, movies, and arts and crafts, plus computer access and a reading room. The community holds daily activities, birthday parties, chapel services, and scheduled family meetings, so people don't feel left out or lonely, and they make sure families can visit more often with expanded visiting hours. There are trails and gardens for walks, patios for outdoors time, and a fitness center for light exercise and therapy. Special amenities include transportation to appointments, space for family parking, laundry and housekeeping, and a program called Maple Grove Memory Care meant for a supportive, structured, and friendly environment, especially important for residents with memory and cognitive challenges.
For folks who need more help, there's physical, occupational, and speech therapy on site, even massage therapy and spa treatments, plus regular doctor checkups and health monitoring to keep tabs on weight changes or health problems. They help with bathing and bathroom needs too, including incontinence care, and they work to set up care plans so each senior gets the right type of support. The staff at Maple Grove Memory Care Red stay awake and alert 24/7, they know how to support people with limited mobility, and the place is set up to provide some peace of mind for families worried about their loved ones, although they don't take Medicare unless certified to do so. The whole setup is pretty small, just 10 licensed beds, so it feels more like a home than a large institution, and since it's located about 13 miles from Keokuk, it serves the local Carthage and Hancock County seniors who need long-term help.
