Comprehensive Support for Your Loved One
Memory conditions like dementia and Alzheimer’s make living alone difficult, dangerous, and isolating. Our Memory Care program at Polar Ridge is uniquely designed to support our residents who suffer from cognitive difficulties by providing them with professional help while maintaining their dignity and independence.
Using science-based practices, our Polar Ridge staff undergoes specialized training that gives them the tools to serve our residents with memory issues. We stress the importance of providing a safe, home-like space for our residents, where they can find comfort, professional support, and stability.
Our Memory Care community features wide, airy walkways, activity centers, and secured outdoor spaces for safety.
Give your loved one the best care and support at Polar Ridge. Please, contact us today for a tour.
Caring, Trained Staff
Every staff member participates in our unique Enriching Connections and Inspire Wellness for Life programs. These programs train our team members in the most progressive, research-driven practices that enable them to provide our residents with comprehensive wellness services.
We recommend meeting with a member of our nursing staff before moving your loved one into our community. Our nurses will provide you with a thorough assessment of your loved one’s needs and help you determine how to best help them.
At Polar Ridge, we can assist our Memory Care residents with:
- Bathing
- Eating
- Toileting
- Mobility
- Medication management and administration
Enriching Connections is our specialized program that trains our Memory Care staff to properly care for those with memory issues. This program emphasizes our foundational elements:
- Relationships & Community: Everyone is invited to belong.
- Commitment: Our organizational leaders are actively involved and committed to providing person-centered care.
- Certification & Training for Staff: All management and memory care staff members are certified through the Alzheimer’s Association and have completed additional, comprehensive training.

- Meaningful Life & Engagement: We aim to maintain the best quality of life for our residents through our Inspire Wellness for Life program.
- Environment: Our team is dedicated to making continual improvements so that every Tealwood community is a dementia-friendly environment.
- Accountability: We always strive for high-quality care.
