Sanford Manor Memory Care sits at 1107-1115 Carthage Street in Sanford, NC, inside Sanford Senior Living and Manor, and it's a community licensed as a Home for the Aged by the State of North Carolina, which means the building and staff follow rules made to keep older adults safe and comfortable. The memory care program here was made for people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, so the building's design, the secure outdoor areas, and the staff training all revolve around safety and support for those with memory loss-like door alerts if someone exits, enclosed courtyards so people can get fresh air but not wander off, and private suites or bedrooms, sometimes with a kitchenette for simple snacks or drinks if a resident can manage. There are both private and semi-private rooms, which lets folks pick the comfort and privacy they want.
The staff stays on-site and awake all night, with full shifts around the clock, to make sure help is there whenever needed, and everyone working with residents is trained in Alzheimer's and dementia care, watching over medications and providing specialized therapies based on each resident's needs. Residents get individual care plans, which means staff look at everyone's unique abilities and routines to help with daily tasks while trying to keep people as independent as possible. There's home health care and hospice when it's needed, and Sanford Manor Memory Care also supports assisted living for those who may not need as much memory care but do need help with things like meals, bathing, or getting dressed.
