What is Memory Care?

Memory Care communities tailor their environment, programming, and personal care to people living with  dementia or Alzheimer's diagnosis. These communities provide a safe, secure, and calming atmosphere that helps residents feel more comfortable and at ease. A team of professional nursing staff are trained in the cognitive, behavioral, and physical symptoms that often accompany dementia. This helps them adapt their care and interactions to create a helpful and restful home for residents. Memory Care communities have security measures such as enclosed outdoor spaces and secure entries and exits to safeguard against wandering. Families can feel confident knowing their loved one is being cared for in a conscientious community built specifically to cater to their needs.

The first time around was ok, the second time around was a nightmare, some of the staff was ok, a few needs a lot of work, phone did not work, did not have a fridge this time, the last time it barely worked, housekeeping is not good, you have RA’s coming in telling me instead of asking me like I’m a child, the menu I filled out, did not get half of what I asked for, front desk needs a better greeter, buses can do better, the health care field has failed as a whole! Will not recommend!

Wellspring Memory Care facility is absolutely WONDERFUL! My step mom went into memory care at Wellspring 18 months ago.<br>My siblings and I are out of state and it was so hard to leave her with strangers and unable to see or care for her ourselves. But she had a couple dear friends who visited regularly and would report to us. When she was still lucid enough to know, she liked the food just fine and liked the staff. There were a lot of activities with engagement and interaction. Whenever we visited, the residents were always clean and well cared for. Most facilities reek of piss when you walk in and only once in many many visits did I smell anything. You can see they care well for their residents. Not only do they take care of the residents, they truly seem to love and care for them. When my step mother passed more than one nurse/aide was quite sad. In fact as we stood in her room the nurse said “oh there is ***'s red jacket!” And got emotional and I found myself comforting her . I cannot say that every thing is 5 stars (e.g., communications and housekeeping) but the daily care of the residents is ten out of five stars and that was most important to me.

We are so grateful for the care and compassion shown at Wellsprings Nursing and Rehab. The staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and always treats residents with dignity and warmth. It’s clear they genuinely care about the people who live there. The activities they provide keep residents engaged, social, and smiling, which gives families so much peace of mind. The facility is also consistently clean and welcoming. Thank you to everyone at Wellsprings for creating such a caring environment!

Management is amazing- I work with a hospice company and we have patients in this building . Management has helped with anything we need or questions we may have. They honestly are the best! I know if we as a hospice need anything from the facility so we can better care for our patients they will be there to help!
