Why Choose Heritage Springs?
When you want a community where memory care for Alzheimer’s and dementia is the primary service, look no further than our Montoursville and Lewisburg communities.
Choose Happiness and Security
When you are searching for the right place for a loved one to be happy and safe, the options can feel overwhelming. Heritage Springs was built for one purpose: specialized memory care for individuals living with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia.
We specialize in dementia care, and it shapes our people, our program, and our communities.
Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care:
Rooted in Compassion
Our care approach is built to support daily routines, create familiar environments, and provide activities that offer cognitive stimulation. We focus on more than safety. We focus on helping residents experience comfort, connection, and meaningful moments throughout the day.
You Want Experts Who Specialize in Dementia Care
Because we specialize in memory care, all employees are specially trained to provide high levels of care and compassion. Team members receive at least 24 hours of extensive annual training to stay current on dementia care challenges, techniques, and best practices.
Live in a Community, not a Facility
Forget what you may picture when you hear “nursing home” or “facility.” Heritage Springs is designed as a community with comforting amenities, engaging experiences, and living options intended to support both freedom and familiarity.
You Need a Care Team Built Around the Whole Resident
Heritage Springs is staffed and organized to support residents holistically.
Staffing includes:
- LPN in the building throughout the day and evening (or one on call)
- Specially trained Nursing Assistants
- Certified Medication Technicians
- Dementia Care Practitioners
- Specialized activity personnel planning activities throughout the day and evening
Our care teams include:
- Administrative (quality oversight, regulatory compliance, staff training, and HR)
- Resident Care (support with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and eating)
- Activities (social, physical, and religious activities designed to promote interaction, self-esteem, and sensory stimulation)
- Dietary (menus aligned to physician-directed needs and resident preferences)
- Housekeeping (clean, safe, comfortable resident areas, fresh linens and clothing support)
Technology to Enhance Safety
Both our memory care communities use an innovative safety system called Teton.
Key features and benefits include:
- Alerts when fall-risk residents are moving around unattended
- Fall notifications for faster response
- Sleep pattern monitoring to spot changes that may signal a concern
These insights help our team respond more quickly, and the program has been shown to reduce falls by up to 80%. Importantly, your loved one is never video-recorded in their room. Instead, discreet sensors detect unusual activity and notify our staff so we can check in right away.
During your tour, ask our team to demonstrate this leading-edge technology.
Support for Residents and Families
Dementia and Alzheimer’s affect the whole family. Caregiving can shift quickly from helping a parent to becoming a caregiver and decision-maker, and this can come with a wide range of emotions.
As dementia progresses, families often face safety risks and daily challenges at home, from wandering concerns to medication mistakes, sleep disruption, and changes in mood. When that happens, it can feel nearly impossible to do it all alone.
Heritage Springs can step in during that turbulent time. Many residents thrive in a supportive community setting because they are:
- No longer alone or afraid
- Taking medications on time
- Eating and sleeping better
- Socializing and participating in activities
- Living in a safe environment
- Supported in psychological, social, spiritual, and physical needs
- Helped and cared for closely 24 hours a day
Caregivers often feel overwhelmed when making a move. Heritage Springs also offers support services and family counseling when needed, so families feel supported, too.
