South Mountain Memory Care is Designed for Comfort
South Mountain Memory Care is designed with comfort in mind – comfort in the layout, accommodations, and home-like feel of the neighborhood kitchen and and living room, as well as comfort in the delivery of care. The community’s design is intentially created to promote excellent care in both assisting our residents hands-on, as well as workflow and layout for job function. The design also supports the quality of life of residents with large private suites and bathrooms, and cozy common areas for group activities.
Community Features
The communities feature twenty-four spacious private rooms with private bathrooms. Each room has a window, and the entire building is replete with natural light. Natural light is important for the overall temperament of residents and helps to combat issues like sundowning, the confusing of day and night.
The community is divided into two 12-room neighborhoods (wings of the building), each complete with a living area, activities and small dining area and kitchenette.
Each neighborhood is reminiscent of a home. The two neighborhoods allow for enhanced individual care for each resident in their activities of daily living, including dressing, bathing, toileting, and assistance in their room. They also promote quality care in small group activities like dining, crafts, and other leisurely activities. Studies show that having smaller groups and low staff-to-resident ratios promote resident engagement and decrease the likelihood of a resident becoming agitated.
South Mountain Memory Care is located in the charming Emmaus neighborhood at the base of South Mountain. The physical location and outdoor surroundings make residents feel at home.
