Our Memory Care Staff at Maple Ridge
The mission of our memory care program is simple. To promote a loving, caring environment where residents and their families are treated with dignity and respect. We believe true dementia care is about an intimate relationship with our residents and a strong partnership with our families. We know residents with dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease can have unique support needs. With dedicated caregivers and a small cohort, this allows us the flexibility to easily adapt and cater to their needs.
The quality of life of Maple Ridge memory care residents is our top priority. We have a staff-to-resident ratio of approximately 1:4. This enables us to give each resident the attention and time they deserve.
Unlike some other memory care facilities, Maple Ridge has a low staff turnover rate. We have employees who have been with us for 10 to 25 years or longer. Having a low turnover rate is essential in providing consistency and continuity of care.
In addition to our direct care staff, we also have 2 directors, a delegating nurse, an activity director, a human resources manager, a business manager, and a maintenance director. We work to improve our residents’ health and well-being with stimulating memory care services and activities. This could be anything from artwork to singing to whatever may have once brought a resident joy. In addition to our full-time activity therapist, our caregivers also organize small group activities.
You might find our activity therapist taking residents on a “virtual tour” of someone’s hometown, or a caregiver working on a puzzle with a resident. In the warmer weather, our residents enjoy sitting outside or helping in our beautiful vegetable and flower garden.
Personalized Memory Care
Optimal memory care services mean a central focus on the individual. It means knowing their habits and preferences and helping them make connections. When your loved one moves in, we write a short biography especially for them. We include where they were born, what they spent their lives doing, their families, hobbies, and talents. We do our best to capture their life experiences and accomplishments.
Having a “Family Album” with a biography on each resident gives us the ability to create programming based on the individual’s specific interests and connects us to the people they were before the disease.
People living with dementia still experience joy, comfort, and meaning in their lives. We encourage all our memory care residents to reconnect to their past and we help them do this by telling their stories. This is a critical component of our program. It ensures our caregivers truly know who our residents are. It allows them to connect on a more personal level, one that exceeds simply knowing their medical and physical needs.

Our Community Amenities at Maple Ridge
Not many memory care facilities in Montgomery County are specifically designed to resemble a home that older adults may have once lived in like how Maple Ridge is.
Creating this aura of familiarity is what brings our residents a sense of comfort. We provide amenities designed specifically to make our residents feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. We do this by considering every aspect of each resident’s life.
Respect is the cornerstone of who we are and our approach to memory care at Maple Ridge. We recognize that our residents are individuals with lifelong experiences. They deserve to be treated with dignity and to maintain their sense of self-worth. We support their right to privacy, their right to choose their daily routine, and their right to live in a manner consistent with their past. We meet them where they are, designing a program that builds on their skills and abilities and maximizes their opportunity for success.
Engaging Activities
When new residents move in, we gather information from the resident and families to create a short biography on each individual that gives us a glimpse into their lives and what brought them joy. This becomes part of our “Family Album” and is used for staff to get to know our residents and to create an activity program based on each unique individual.
The activities at our community are therefore constantly evolving and may include music, moving nights, art projects, word games, reminiscence therapy, speech therapy, puzzles, and exercise. We believe in meeting our residents where they are. This means understanding who they are, what their life is and has been about. With an appreciation for their uniqueness, we craft our program to their needs and abilities.
