What COVID precautions are in place?

Because COVID restrictions are ever changing, please call our facility to ask about our current visitor policy. Staff are provided with proper PPE to avoid spread of the virus in our facility.

Is housekeeping provided?

The housekeeping service included in our base rate provides:

• Vacuuming
• Restroom cleaning
• Bed making and changing
• Laundry

Our staff members can aid in providing these housekeeping and maintenance chores for our memory care residents that may not be able to complete them on their own. Residents will typically have their restroom maintained as well as their bedroom to provide optimal comfort and safety.

What is memory care?

Memory care is specialized residential care for those who struggle with memory issues. This full-time care offers more intensive services to aid in the challenges that our residents may be facing with different memory impairments. Extra precautions need to be taken to ensure the safety of the memory impaired residents in our facility. Our memory care unit is secured to prevent wandering, although residents are allowed to go outside and to other areas if escorted by a staff or family member. Having the right environment is key to retaining independence for those who are cognitively impaired.

Are short term stays offered in this facility?

Respite care and adult day care are available at The Gables of Shelley Memory Care. This allows you the opportunity to see if we are a good fit for you. It also allows caregivers a short break to rest, relax, run errands, so they can come back refreshed.
