Memory Care at Ramsey Village Continuing Care
The Memory Care community at Ramsey Village Continuing Care in Des Moines, Iowa, is based on the concept of person-centered care – knowing each and every resident and focusing on the whole person to achieve the highest possible quality of life. Care plans and daily programs for residents experiencing a memory loss illness are customized to incorporate each person’s unique experiences, interests, needs, and abilities. We can provide the services and support your loved one needs in a safe, structured, and nurturing environment – from assistance with daily activities through The Courtyard program, to skilled nursing and long-term care through The Bridges program.
The Highest Standards of Individualized Care
Memory Care activities, programs, and spaces within our community are all carefully designed to foster a sense of self, encourage engagement, and allow residents to relate to wherever they may be at any given moment in their journey. You can see it in details big and small: from our highly trained staff and innovative programming to the dining experiences and the wayfinding system that uses color to assist residents with navigation. We want our residents to have more control over their daily lives and retain as much of their independence as possible. We respect their self-esteem in every encounter and activity.
These philosophies are reflected in our two innovative Memory Care programs. The Courtyard program provides engaging, therapeutic activities for residents in the early stages of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, helping to maximize their independence in a safe, secure, home-like environment. The Bridges program delivers individualized care at our Health Center for those with more advanced memory loss, or who also have additional physical limitations or conditions requiring higher levels of skilled nursing support.
