Eastover Gardens is a magnificent assisted living community in Eastover, North Carolina. It is within astounding Cumberland County which is part of the Tar Heel State.
The Weeks family has been involved in resident care for over 35 years and now the third generation is on site to care for your family member in the same way you would. We understand the issues that families face when they have a parent suffering from Alzheimer’s / Dementia and stress associated with making a decision about their care. We are happy to talk with you about the needs of your family member and how Eastover Gardens can help.
Eastover Gardens Special Care Facility in Eastover is designed specifically to care for those with memory impairment. Our mission is to be the preferred provider in Assisted Living/Alzheimer’s care in the community we serve. Our community will choose us because we specialize in compassion, knowledge and quality care by our team of trained caregivers. The entire Assisted Living Community is dedicated to the care of Alzheimer’s or related diagnoses.
We at Eastover Gardens desire to meet our Alzheimer’s / dementia residents “where they are.” This mission will be accomplished by carefully assessing each resident and determining their individual needs. We do this by developing a culture where agitation and other behavioral issues are reduced through:
- redirection methods,
- creating structure and routine based upon a 24 hour schedule,
- maintaining a consistent schedule, and
- promoting sunlight and outdoor activities
Within our care environment we avoid major changes by maintaining realistic physical and cognitive goals in a no-fail environment. A realistic physical goal, for example, for many Alzheimer’s residents is to remain ambulatory. This is often achieved under the direct guidance of a licensed physical therapist and at the recommendation of a physician. It is very important to us that each resident is treated as a unique individual. We want to see everyone experience the best possible quality of life.
We manage the common issues associated with Alzheimer’s disease such as sundowning and nocturnal pain by reducing distractions and accommodating freedom of movement within a safe environment.
All staff members at Eastover Gardens in addition to required training and continuing education receive an additional six hours of orientation on the nature and needs of the Alzheimer’s /dementia resident. The administrator of Eastover Gardens has an additional 20 hours of training specific to the population of a special care facility.
Our experienced and highly trained caregivers provide the highest quality of care to both patients and their families. Our goal is to help individuals and their loved ones live happy and fulfilling lives.
