ManorCare Health Services is one of the nation's
leading providers of Alzheimer's care. We offer three
different care settings for people with Alzheimer's
disease and related memory disorders. Due to the
progressive nature of the disease, an individual's stage
of affliction often will determine the level and type of
care required. Family programs and support groups are a
key component of each program offered.
Alzheimer's Assisted Living
Our Arden Courts residential
facilities are designed exclusively for individuals in
the early to mid stages of Alzheimer's disease. Arden
Courts offers all the services normally associated with
an assisted living facility, however, the services have
been modified to take into account the unique needs of
the Alzheimer's resident. Special attention has been
given to physical building layout, safety and decor.
Modified activity and food service programs focus on
preferences, abilities and, most importantly, maintaining
independence for as long as possible. Of course, personal
care assistance is available 24 hours a day.
Alzheimer's Special Care
Unit (SCU)
Our Arcadia units (known
as Thalia in Florida) are secure, self-contained
units in our nursing and rehabilitation centers. Arcadia
is designed exclusively for people in the mid to late
stages of Alzheimer's disease or other related memory
disorders. Top experts in the field of dementia care have
helped us design every program detail from the decor
package to the activity, therapy and dietary programs.
These units are also appropriate for Alzheimer's
residents (at any stage) who may have a complex or
unstable medical condition.
Laurel Day Program
Available in our nursing and rehabilitation centers
that do not currently have an Alzheimer's Special Care
Unit. This structured daytime program provides supervised
therapeutic and recreational activities for Alzheimer's
residents in a safe and supportive environment.
