What is the move-in process?

Prospective resident and/or family visits and tours facility. If tentatively interested, prospective resident is assessed for appropriate level of care. Prospective resident then selects his/her apartment. Rental rate is determined and agreed upon. Move-in packet is presented to the family or responsible party, including the admission agreement and the physician's report. Before resident is admitted, all documents must be completed and delivered to Administrator. Any medications are brought to the Health Services Director prior to moving in. Move-in date is established. Family member(s) or responsible party meets with Administrator to go over and sign administrative documents. Resident must turn in their ID/Insurance/SS card prior to move-in. Resident Care Assessment and Planning. An initial level of care is established prior to the resident moving in. The Care staff carefully monitors the resident during the year to determine if his/her care level has changed. The family or responsible party will be kept informed of any observed changes on an ongoing basis. If the resident is assessed at a higher or lower level, their rental rate will be adjusted accordingly after a discussion with the family and resident. After a year from the resident's admission date, a Care Plan Conference will be organized. The purpose of this conference is to go over the resident's care, involving Dining Service and Activities staff to prepare a comprehensive Care Plan for each resident.

Memory Care For Dementia & Alzheimer's Disease

We believe that those who are living with Alzheimer's Disease and other dementia can experience a life worth living by honoring the whole person and supporting independence and quality of life. We also believe that loved ones can maintain a connection with those who have cognitive loss through our person-centered, senior-directed approach and our validation communication methods as taught in our "Moments" program.

We believe that music can nourish the spirit, improve cognition, reduce anxiety, and bring joy and happiness.

Moments

Ridgeline Management Company’s signature program, “Moments” is developed to meet the needs of each of our residents through all stages of dementia. The program will attempt to maintain a safe, secure, and predictable environment that fosters a sense of independence and well-being. It will improve residents’ self-esteem through meaningful activities designed around each person’s interests, talents, and abilities.

Program Overview

At Ridgeline, we train our caregivers to educate them in all stages of dementia (early, middle, and late). Not only will we teach our caregivers how to take care of the residents but also themselves. Because let’s face it, caring for others is hard work.

Our Memory Care Neighborhood is a place for our residents to receive the support and assistance they need, while feeling as much “at home” as possible. The goal of “Moments” program is to design an environment for our residents living with dementia to maximize awareness and orientation. We are here to help retain abilities and maintain their independence as long as possible. It is designed to fulfill Ridgeline’s mission: creating an environment where moments of joy, independence, and wellness provided each and every day.
