McDowell Place of Danville is expanding its memory care area with the addition of six new private rooms, helping more families access specialized care for loved ones living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and other forms of memory loss. The new rooms are expected to be available in early September.
“Families are often faced with difficult decisions when a loved one begins experiencing memory loss,” said Susan Matherly, Director of McDowell Place of Danville. “Our goal is to provide compassionate, individualized care in a secure environment where residents can continue to experience meaningful moments, maintain their dignity and enjoy the highest possible quality of life. We’re excited to expand our memory care services so we can help even more families in our community.”
Memory care provides specialized support that goes beyond traditional assisted living. Residents benefit from a secure environment, caregivers specially trained in dementia care, structured daily routines, engaging activities designed to promote cognitive function, and personalized care plans tailored to each individual’s needs. These services not only enhance residents’ quality of life but also provide peace of mind for families, knowing their loved one is receiving around-the-clock care in a safe and nurturing setting.
Families interested in learning more about the new memory care accommodations are encouraged to call (859) 239-4663 today to join the waiting list or schedule a personal tour of McDowell Place.
