Lighthouse Memory Care is a community meant for seniors aged 65 and older who live with memory impairments like Alzheimer's or dementia, and the whole place was made with their unique needs in mind, even down to having a circular floor plan to prevent confusion and help folks walk around safely without running into dead ends, and you'll find features like a computerized wander alert system with bracelets, alarms, and secured entryways that keep residents safe while giving them some space to move about as they please. People move into furnished rooms with private or accessible bathrooms, and there's move-in coordination to help families and new residents settle in, with the staff asking about personal history, likes, and dislikes so care plans fit each person's needs and interests, whether someone needs light help with daily living or more involved support because of behaviors or major health concerns.
The assisted living setting has a separate and secure building for memory care, so people who wander or need specialized help are kept safe, and the community is equipped to care for residents who have challenges like aggression or difficult behaviors, offering behavioral management, diabetic care, incontinence support, and even hospice care, with nurses and awake staff on duty twenty-four hours a day to cover everything from transfers with mechanical lifts or two-person assists to medication management. There are on-site services from visiting nurses, podiatrists, and therapists, while medication care managers keep track of treatments and reminders for day-to-day needs like bathing and grooming, and the staff always tries to honor everyone's dignity, working with respect and regular check-ins.
Residents can join in a variety of activities such as movies, resident-hosted events, stretching or brain fitness classes, gardening, pet programs, devotional services, and offsite trips-plus there are serene garden areas and a courtyard for relaxation, so everyone has a chance to enjoy the outdoors or just have quiet time by themselves. Meals are chef-prepared and made with fresh ingredients, available any time of day, and residents who want to invite guests can do so, with optional transportation in the community van when needed. Housekeeping, linen service, and regular cleaning are included, and you'll also see onsite beauticians and accessible showers. Lighthouse Memory Care is run by Executive Director Jessica Trumble and owned by Milestone Management as part of Milestone Retirement Communities, and the facility goes through regular licensing checks twice a year for safety and quality. The place typically gets good reviews for its clean spaces and quality care, and it has up to 39 licensed beds, with plenty of programs meant to help each person feel connected and valued through every stage of their memory loss journey.
