A Wonderful Active Lifestyle
Manor House is a warm and welcoming family-oriented community that specializes in the care of residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other memory disorders. Our highly trained and dedicated staff works hard to make sure our residents are always treated with the utmost dignity; this is one of the key reasons we are considered the best memory care community in the area. We do everything we can to enrich their lives, providing a wide range of activities and often taking residents out into the community, on frequent trips to the Wildlife Safari in Winston, on monthly outings for pizza, and scenic drives every week.
Manor House is truly a well-rounded community of care and support. In addition to taking residents on frequent outings, we also offer a full calendar of activities here at the community designed specifically for our special group of residents. While our community is fully secured, it is also very open, providing easy access to our courtyard, where you’ll often see residents strolling about. We also offer exercise classes, in which we work with residents to help them maintain their range of motion and build strength. Residents also enjoy participating in arts and crafts and various games, including bingo. We also have a flower and vegetable garden that residents help care for. They also love watching old-time movies, westerns and musicals on our large-screen television in the lobby, listening to tapes of old radio shows and they never miss our ice cream socials! In addition, church services are held most Sundays.
Partnering with the Local Neighborhood Community
Our executive director and registered nurse have taught many classes on memory care and behavior management to other professionals in our community, including local fire officials, nurses and even college students. The goal is to help them learn how to deal in a sensitive and respectful way with “behaviors,” that is, how you work with someone who is wandering, violent or hallucinating without physically restraining or medicating them? Our classes focus on helping first responders and caregivers learn techniques they can use should they find themselves in difficult-to-handle situations.
Fine Dining
We provide three homemade meals each day, served in each of the four neighborhood dining rooms. Our meals feature delicious and nutritious favorites like fried chicken, baked fish, BBQ pork, pizza, pot roast and meatloaf, to name just a few. Once a week, residents from all four neighborhoods get together for a community meal, served on long tables, banquet-style. Should your loved one require a special diet, just let us know. We can even cater to vegetarians! Our goal is to give residents the opportunity to do as much for themselves as they can. If they can’t handle silverware, but are able to eat with their hands, that’s okay with us! But if they do need help eating, or need simple cues to remind them to pick up a spoon, we’re right here, throughout the meal, to provide any assistance they may require. Because people with memory impairments tend to eat small amounts in one sitting, we always have snacks available: fruits of the season, crackers and cheese, cookies, sandwiches and yogurt, for example.
