Spring Arbor Cottage of Salisbury serves seniors with memory problems like Alzheimer's or dementia in a quiet, wooded setting where two cottages, each for 24 residents, create a peaceful and safe home. The facility is an assisted living setting with 48 licensed beds and does not accept Medicare unless certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Trained staff provide help with daily living, medical oversight, and support for families carrying the heavy worry that comes with loved ones needing memory care. The small house design reduces confusion and prevents wandering, and each cottage has its own courtyard, a small kitchen for activities like baking or cooking with supervision, a comfortable living room with a stone hearth, and open dining areas. Community features keep residents engaged, with both indoor and outdoor areas for social activities, a greenhouse, a country kitchen, high-speed internet, scheduled transportation, and a screened porch with rocking chairs, plus amenities like a beauty and barber salon.
Three meals a day plus snacks are served in a traditional, open dining room or a private one for gatherings, with vegetarian choices available. There's a full activities calendar, devotional services, wellness programs, and on-site therapy. Residents use the courtyard for walking, gardening, or fresh air, and each cottage offers easy opportunities for socializing and keeping active. The caregiving team creates personalized care plans for every resident and supports physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs. Spring Arbor Cottage runs specialized memory care programs, including brain-boosting tasks and life enrichment activities that help residents stay connected and feel joy each day, no matter what abilities they've lost to dementia. Every service, from meal preparation to wellness checks, aims to keep seniors as independent as possible, help families worry less, and give residents a warm place to live that really feels like home.
