Safe & Uplifting Environment

Safety is a top priority at Orchard Park at Southfork, especially for residents in the Memory Care program. Memory loss and cognitive decline due to dementia can cause some seniors to wander, and they may be unable to find their way back home. This can lead to dangerous situations and a lot of anxiety for caregivers and family members. Orchard Park is here to provide you with peace of mind. Your loved one will be in a safe, secure, and uplifting environment. Doors outside of the Memory Care unit are locked and accessible only by staff members. Staff members are available around the clock to provide help, care, and supervision as needed. 

 

But just because a space is safe doesn’t mean it has to be boring! Orchard Park at Southfork has been designed with calming colors and beautiful interiors. The exterior space is landscaped and features a walking path around the building so that residents can get outside in a safe and supervised way. A quiet room is also available with dim lighting for relaxation.

Every Memory Care resident has unique needs and preferences, and these are constantly changing. Fortunately, Orchard Park at Southfork provides personalized care plans that can change with your loved ones’ needs. All residents have access to transportation, housekeeping, laundry services, medication assistance, an emergency call button, and more.
