Drumlin Reserve - Memory Care

Drumlin Reserve - Memory Care sits at 111 E. Reynolds St in Cottage Grove, WI, and the community puts a real focus on helping people with memory loss, like Alzheimer's and dementia, as it's got this Blu Grotto® Memory Care neighborhood where staff offer round-the-clock supervision, medication management, and assistance with bathing, dressing, and getting around, plus there's a 24-hour call system and emergency alert features throughout the place to keep residents safe and give some peace of mind. The apartments come furnished or can be personalized, with private bathrooms and walk-in tubs, along with telephone hookups and Wi-Fi, and there are amenities like a salon, arts room, and common areas made to help orientation and comfort, and it's all dementia-friendly, so the design helps prevent confusion and wandering. They've got garden spaces, walking paths outside, and they run activities like movie nights, arts and crafts, and social events because staying busy and making friends really seems to matter here, and the dining room serves meals that cater to allergies or diabetes, which sure helps if you've got special needs. Housekeeping, laundry (even dry cleaning), and transportation services are part of the package, and pets are allowed, so that makes things a bit homier for folks who like animals. The staff are specially trained in caring for people with memory loss and are friendly and patient, plus there's incontinence, diabetic, and non-ambulatory care too, and every resident gets a custom plan that changes if needs change, which feels like a good thing for those whose memory might get worse with time. There's support if you're just needing a short stay too, so respite and temporary programs are available. Move-in help is offered to ease the transition, activities are structured for memory support, community events bring people together, and the safety features like secured doors and exits show how much they want to protect people who might forget where they're going. The whole setup is for folks dealing with memory impairments, and while the place also serves independent and assisted living residents, the Blu Grotto® Memory Care area is really for those needing extra help with memory issues, so if someone's facing that kind of challenge, Drumlin Reserve could be a calm, structured option.
