Rockville Memory Care Experts 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.
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 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 in Rockville
Optimal memory care services in Maryland 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.
Compassionate Caregivers
A modern property designed for seniors in the early to moderate stages of dementia, this memory care property has eight rooms, each of which is equipped with a private bathroom. The community has a communal kitchen, dining room and living space. Residents can enjoy freshly prepared meals, served three times a day.
Dedicated Care Team
Our clinical staff is made up of on-site caregivers and medication technicians. We have a management team that consists of two directors, nurses, an activity director, a human resources manager, a maintenance director, and a business manager. In addition, we are frequently visited by therapists, doctors, and other health professionals.
Meaningful Dementia-Friendly Activities
When new residents move in, we gather information from the residents 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 in our community are therefore constantly evolving and may include music, moving nights, art projects, word games, reminiscence therapy, puzzles, and exercise. We believe in meeting our residents where they are. This means understanding who they are, and what their life is and has been about. With an appreciation for their uniqueness, we craft our program to their needs and abilities.
Delicious Home-cooked Meals
Our residents enjoy three home-cooked meals a day in our private dining room. Our caregivers learn each resident’s favorite food, how they like their coffee or tea in the morning and their favorite type of cereal or ice cream flavor. Unlike a larger assisted living community, our staff can cater meals to the resident’s individual dietary needs and preferences. Families can also bring in special food items their loved ones may enjoy.
Housekeeping and Laundry Services
Our caregivers make sure the home is kept clean and safe. In addition to our staff’s daily cleaning, we have a professional cleaning service come in every two weeks to complement our efforts. We also have on-site laundry facilities to ensure our memory care residents have clean clothing, bedding, and towels daily.
Tailored Personal Care Services
Our staff members are well trained to provide quality care services, such as bathing, dressing, grooming, medication administration, assistance with ambulation and feeding when needed. They can provide dementia care services that are personalized since they know not only about the physical needs of each resident but also about their rich and personal history. Knowing this type of information when providing care is invaluable. This is the personalized service that sets Maple Ridge apart from other area memory care homes.
Homelike 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.
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 memory care program that builds on their skills and abilities and maximizes their opportunity for success.
