Windsor Gardens

Located in East Vancouver, Washington Windsor Gardens is an assisted living facility that sits on the former site of a lush botanical garden that once graced the pages of ‘National Geographic’. We specialize in caring for individuals living with memory loss such as Dementia and Alzheimer’s.

Memory Care communities, like Windsor Gardens in Vancouver, WA were created solely to serve the needs of people with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Memory Care typically includes 24/7 supervision by specially trained staff, specialized communication techniques and management of difficult behavior. People with Alzheimer’s and other medical dementias may also need cuing or hands on help with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, eating, transferring from bed to a chair or wheelchair, toileting or other personal care. Because many people with dementia wander, many Memory Care communities also provide a secure environment that allows a person to move freely within the community, but prevents them from leaving without supervision.

Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, an irreversible and progressive disease that impairs memory, behavior and thinking. Alzheimer’s disease is marked by a buildup of protein plaques in the brain and brain cells that become tangled and misshapen. These tangles and plaques cause brain cells to die. Over time, the brain shrinks and the patient’s need for quality care increases proportionately.

Dementia is a general term that refers to a set of symptoms, including memory loss, difficulty with numbers, disorientation to time and place, declines in verbal processing, and a loss of fine and gross motor skills. This decline in brain function can also cause personality changes. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, however there are other types of dementia which all share several common signs and symptoms.
