Diamond Willow Assisted Living: Mountain Iron We offer small intimate community settings of 8-16 residents per home and site based RN’s who work wi

Here at Diamond Willow we take pride in our person centered care model which is uniquely different from most diagnosis based care systems. With that comes the belief that bigger is not always better. Each setting is designed to be intimate with fewer residents per suite, allowing us to have smaller communities to promote our person centered care model in a truly calm and comforting home-like environment. This affords us the ability to provide one on one attention in a more positive, healthy atmosphere to each and every individual. It is because of this model that we offer the industry leading staffing ratios of 1:5 during awake hours and 1:13 overnight. We also recognize that moving multiple times later in life is everything short of desirable. As care needs increase and evolve our person oriented program is designed to provide varying levels of care in a personal suite from arrival through end of life, highly reducing the need to change facilities in the future.

πŸ’™ 52 Tips for Transitioning a Loved One to Memory Care
Week One: Choosing the Right Community

Choosing a memory care community is one of the most important decisions you’ll make for someone you love.

If your loved one is still able to participate in the conversation, start there. Understanding their needs, preferences, and wishes can help guide the process and ensure they feel respected and heard. If they are no longer able to meaningfully contribute their wishes, take some time to reminisce and recall all of the special things that make them who they are.

Before choosing a memory care community, take time to research and tour multiple options. Look closely at the level of care each community can support; not just today, but as needs change over time. Moves can be especially stressful for individuals living with dementia, and repeated transitions can contribute to decline for both the individual and their family. Finding a place where your loved one can remain long-term can make all the difference.

Each community should be able to clearly share the services and amenities they provide; but just as important is how the space feels when you walk through the door. You know your loved one best.
Does it feel like home? Does the environment feel calm, warm, and supportive?

At Diamond Willow, we’re proud of our cozy, home-like settings and the close, personalized care we provide. Our communities are equipped to support higher physical care needs; including mechanical lifts, modified diets, feeding assistance, and more, allowing residents to remain with us through all stages of life. We also partner closely with local hospice organizations to ensure end-of-life transitions are peaceful, dignified, and surrounded by care for both residents and families.

✨ Follow along each week as we share practical tips, guidance, and encouragement for families navigating the memory care journey.
