Berea Alzheimer's Care Center sits at 49 Sheldon Rd in Berea, Ohio, and takes care of people with Alzheimer's and other memory problems, and the place is part of the family-run CommuniCare group, known for long-term care and memory support, so you'll get a team that really knows how to help those with dementia. The center has Medicare and Medicaid certification, and accepts some insurances, with financing help available. There's a big focus on a safe, nurturing environment, with staff there around the clock, an emergency alert system, a 24-hour call system, and nurses who can handle medication management, wound care, rehab, medical post-surgical care, and the daily needs with bathing, dressing, and moving around. Staff speak English, and the provider reports some may know other languages.
Residents get to join Montessori-based activities that help keep them busy and thinking, special programs just for memory support, and life enrichment programs to encourage hobbies and recreation. They offer arts and crafts, movies, live entertainment, games, organized community events like family nights and an annual car show, even therapy dog visits and spa days. There's a furnished dining room for all-day meals, and they're careful about special diets, like allergies and diabetes-plus there's a barber or salon onsite for grooming. Residents and families can work together on care plans. The care center arranges family support, counseling, psychosocial support, and ways to honor personal history so people still feel like themselves. Housekeeping and laundry services come standard, and the facility helps new residents settle in with move-in coordination. The main focus remains on Alzheimer's and dementia care, so the place is well-suited for those needing specialized help. They update their info at least once a month online, but for now, they're not accepting new residents.
