Specialized Alzheimer's  

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.

AAL ButtonAlzheimer'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.

ASC ButtonAlzheimer'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.

LDP ButtonLaurel 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.
