The Gardens for Memory Care at Easton sits in Easton, Pennsylvania, and cares for seniors who have memory challenges like Alzheimer's or dementia, and the place has a dedicated memory care unit where staff provide round-the-clock supervision and help with daily needs such as bathing, dressing, transferring, and managing medications, and there always seems to be someone around because they've got caregivers, nurses, and aides on hand for most of the day, usually 12-16 hours of nursing care and a full team that includes registered nurses, LPNs, CNAs, therapists, and even a gerontologist, Dr. Bharat Mehta, MD, who specializes in internal medicine and older adults, so people can know there's experience behind the care. They serve meals in both restaurant-style and hospital-style settings and offer menus that fit special diets which is important for folks with medical needs, and they take care of housekeeping, laundry, and even help organize the move-in so new residents don't feel overwhelmed.
There's a lot to help people feel comfortable, with things like cable TV, Internet, kitchenettes, private bathrooms, air conditioning, safety features such as handicap access and sprinkler systems, and the rooms come furnished, and you can find washers and dryers onsite too.

Scheduled daily activities, social outings, movie nights, education programs, and even resident-run activities help people stay connected, and there's a resident and family council in place to hear any concerns, which seems like a good way to keep things running smoothly.
They offer all sorts of therapies-physical, occupational, speech, recreational-and the gym is set up with therapy equipment especially for people who need full support with daily living, and sometimes people come in just for short-term rehab after a hospital stay, while others stay for longer periods needing skilled nursing, memory care, or support for things like wound care, mental health, or IV antibiotics.
