INNOVATIVE RESOURCES
Adaptive and assistive technology can never take the place of resident centered care, and that is why we are dedicated to maintaining one of the highest staff to resident care ratios in the industry. However, it does allow our caregivers to provide a person-centered experience that reinforces the self and social narratives important for all. Our community is equipped with adaptive technology which allows us to track our resident’s movements and activity within their studio, thus reducing the risk of falls. We utilize the therapeutic benefits of a multi- sensorial environment that helps change brain arousal which decreases stress, anxiety, and agitation.
Aromatherapy, adaptive and fiber optic lighting, textures, and other brain teasers are used as a first response to behavioral challenges, rather than the typical medicinal approach used in most facilities.
Computer technology is used for out of town family members to video chat with their loved one, as well as for family members to share photos and pre-record messages of encouragement.
Step inside our community and you will see how we are revolutionizing memory care with our resident-centered design, our savory meals, and our round-the-clock expert care.
Because it was designed with your loved one in mind. Our revolutionary resident centered designed community was purpose built for memory care, specifically, to address the unique needs of Alzheimer’s, and age-related dementias.
Our community was designed – from the ground up – to serve the needs of your loved one. When you step inside The Ranch and you’ll find lots of life and laughter – In a home filled atmosphere where residents thrive. We spent years researching and fine tuning our design where every detail matters. We made sure every detail enriched and supported the lives of our residents. Features include large studio floorplans with personal bath, adaptive living resources for safety, a multisensory environment to ease anxiety, an abundance of natural and adaptive lighting to reduce sun-downing, indoor and outdoor wayfinding to help avoid confusion, and even night lights behind the toilets. Details really do matter to us, because we understand the impact of dementia in the lives of our residents and their loved ones.
Just like at your home, mealtime plays an important role in your loved one’s social life. Our community is built around the kitchen and dining areas where our team prepares fresh homemade meals, and tasty aromas, in our open kitchen… bringing some much-needed stability to your loved one’s routine. Our menu features your loved one’s favorite foods, and family recipes made from scratch. Dining is one of life’s greatest pleasures and should be celebrated with family and friends. Team members assist with family-style dining…even joining your loved one for the meal. So come and pull up a chair, families are always welcome to dine with their loved ones at The Ranch. That’s why we designed our dining room to be an intimate and warm environment.
Our care team makes happiness happen. We focus on living life to the fullest every day, regardless of the care needs of your loved one. We understand there are going to be good days, and there are going to be days filled with challenges when caring for those coping with Alzheimer’s, and other age related dementias. Through love and compassion, we are committed to caring for individuals and families coping with memory loss, by affirming purpose, providing engaging care through innovative resources, and creating meaningful moments. In fact, we empower our care team to find ways to create small impromptu moments that bring joy to the hearts of our residents. We believe these meaningful moments are just as powerful as planned activities.
Who takes care of your loved one matters. We understand it takes someone special to help your loved one navigate through the challenges of memory loss. It all begins by choosing the right care team member. We typically review over 100 applicants before selecting 1 to join our care team. Once selected our proactive caring staff receives 5 times more training than the state requires. Each care team member completes the CARES® and essensiALZ® certification program recognizing advance dementia care practices through the Alzheimer’s Association. In addition to the professional training, our care team completes ongoing classroom and on-the-job mentorship programs through Sycamore Creek Ranch’s training development center.
Through this extensive training and our dementia care team’s intimate knowledge of each resident, our ultimate goal is to anticipate what triggers anxiety—redirecting your loved one’s attention to create soothing, positive experiences without the use of mood-stabilizing drugs.
