Walnut Ridge Assisted Living and Memory Care

Walnut Ridge Assisted Living and Memory Care sits in a lively community where residents can join in activities, enjoy a meal in a restaurant-style dining room that brings people together, and spend time in both bright indoor gathering spaces and peaceful garden areas outside. The staff stays on-site all day and night, helping residents with dressing, bathing, and reminders to take their medicine, and there's a nurse around part-time, with a doctor on call. The community is built for comfort and safety, especially for those with memory loss, and there's technology in place to help keep people who may wander safe, including alarms on exit doors and wrist bracelets for tracking. Residents living with memory challenges like Alzheimer's and dementia can find care in a secured part of the community, with programs and activities designed to stimulate and calm, including art classes, brain fitness, gardening, and special activities from the VIVA! lifestyle schedule, like ArtPath and Victory Gardens, while those in assisted living can get help with daily tasks at different levels as needs change. Every apartment comes with a flat-screen TV, and Wi-Fi keeps people connected, while the open and sunny floor plan gives a cheerful feeling. Healthy meals are made fresh each day, housekeeping and laundry get handled by staff, and residents can bring their pets, whether dogs or cats, if they like. Specialized staff look after people who have medical needs, such as help with diabetic care, incontinence, mobility, and behavioral issues, including those at risk of wandering or needing two-person or mechanical lift transfers. There's parking for both residents and guests, plus rides to appointments or outings, and the fee structure includes a $4000 entry charge for assisted living, with Medicaid accepted as a payment option. The community offers a wide range of activities--stretching, Tai Chi, yoga, art, wine tasting, music, karaoke, and outings--with plenty of chances to socialize, and rooms offer full wheelchair-friendly bathrooms. Housekeeping, laundry, and salon services help everyone feel neat and comfortable, and the place tries to keep things as home-like as possible, with natural light and warm decor. Memory care at Walnut Ridge means treating people with respect and dignity, with extra support for those needing behavioral care or secure memory programs. Assisted living and memory care guests both get help based on their needs, and everyone finds encouragement to join in crafts, gardening, religious services, fitness, and more, while enjoying the security and calm of a state-of-the-art residence dedicated to health and wellbeing.
