Reflections Alzheimer's and Memory Care

Dedication to Service

Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's or other memory impairments is a very personal, loving dedication to service. It requires service for specific and individual needs.

More often, the resident with memory loss needs assistance with life's daily activities including personal care but may not have an acute medical condition requiring around the clock skilled nursing or instruction. Finding that unique combination of physical setting and specialized care is a journey traveled by many families.

The Reflections Program

At Reflections, our trained staff works closely with family members and friends to assemble a "Life History" identifying the personal experiences of each resident's life.

Through the "Life History," we get to know the personality behind the person, fostering a one-to-one association more like "friend to friend" rather than "staff to patient." Details and events from your loved one's past become "shared" memories and experiences serving as a foundation for activities, communication, and the development of friendships built on support, understanding and mutual respect.

Base Monthly Services
  • Laundry Services - personal and linen
  • Housekeeping
  • 24 hour-a-day specially trained staff
  • Three daily meals plus snacks
  • Tailored activities - therapeutic and recreational
  • Full-time Reflections supervisor

  • Assistance with bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, incontinence management, and other personal services

I did a tour with Legend at Capital Ridge. It is nice and it is pricey. They do a lot of things that I really like, but it costs $7000 plus a little bit more for the memory care. They have some hand exercises for them to work on and some activities to do. My husband is not very motivated to do anything by himself and the staff said they'll try and collect him for the different activities. On the other hand, I am not sure how much he would really do.I think to myself, "okay they have all of this stuff, but will he really use it? Is it worth two thousand more?" The staff member that gave us a tour was very informative. We looked at some other departments that were not in the memory care unit, but they seem to want to put him in memory care. The room in the memory care unit had a living area and a separate bedroom. It has enough space. Some roooms have full-size beds. His room had plenty of space for his belongings and a twin bed, which is what I thought I would get for him. They had a big sitting room and activities to do there. There were some women that were coloring and other options available that they can do to utilize their hands. There were several people in the common areas. The staff member told me that they don't let them spend all of the time in their rooms. They had about three people in the memory care unit. The place is really nice and I really like it, but I don't know if we can afford it. The place is wonderful and it does look like they have things for them to do. Another concern for me is that it is all the way across town. They had some rocking chairs outside and you can sit out there and relax.

My impression of Legend at Capital Ridge was very nice. They have small rooms and the dining area looked okay. They have about the same amenities as the other senior community we found. It's a nice place but we just liked the other one better. The staff in Legend at Capital Ridge was good as well as the residents, there wasn't anything wrong with this community overall. The room we looked at we're not interested with it at all because it was very small.
