Elkhorn Jones Memory Care is a small, cozy, and clean community that focuses on helping seniors with memory concerns like Alzheimer's and dementia, and the staff takes pride in treating residents with respect and dignity while seeing to their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs each day. The building itself has 24 recently remodeled private rooms and 12 shared rooms, all furnished and set up for comfort and safety, and the community is wheelchair accessible throughout, with ADA compliant private bathrooms, grab bars, emergency call buttons in the shower, toilet, and bed, and a sprinkler system in place. Residents get three nutritious meals every day, plus three snacks, and the kitchen staff can handle any special diets that individual residents might need.
The care here is hands-on and tailored, with a high staff-to-resident ratio and personal care assistants always around to lend a hand with things like dressing, bathing, grooming, eating, medication, diabetes monitoring, wound care, and even getting around with walking or wheelchair help. Medical help includes regular visits from physicians, nurses, medication technicians, and even podiatry and occupational therapy on site, and the security of 24-hour supervision means families can trust their loved ones are looked after at all hours. The facility works with long-term care insurance, accepts Medicaid through the Home Based Community Waiver and WEARC programs, and can manage complicated care for people with all stages of Alzheimer's, dementia, or other chronic conditions.
Daily life at Elkhorn Jones Memory Care includes plenty of activities-the full-time activities coordinator organizes group meals and snacks, movie times with popcorn, bingo, exercise classes, spiritual services, arts and crafts, horticulture classes, social hours, and holiday parties. Residents also get the chance to try aromatherapy, meditation, and even pet therapy, and there are happy hours, game time, and visits from entertainers to keep spirits up. The building itself offers Wi-Fi, cable TV packages in the rooms, a game room, fitness center, a beauty salon/barber shop, guest parking, kitchenettes, a dining room, and both independent air conditioning and heating so each room can stay just how the resident likes it. Housekeeping and laundry are included, and transportation for appointments or outings is available.
Tours are available for families who'd like to visit, meet the staff, and get a real feel for community life. The care plans are always personalized to match what each resident needs, whether that's more help with memory or more independence with daily tasks, and the environment is designed to feel warm and welcoming while reducing confusion and preventing wandering. The setting is smaller and more personal than many big national chains, and families often describe it as well-managed and well-maintained, offering the kind of respectful and compassionate care that helps each person feel at home.
