Willow Hall Memory Care Unit
For residents with a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or
other related memory problems, Willow Hall at Ohio Valley Manor offers high-quality care and expert supervision.
A special memory care neighborhood devoted solely to residents with memory impairment problems, Willow Hall at Ohio Valley
Manor provides a supportive and secure environment with a focus on activities that benefit the residents who live there. An
interdisciplinary team of professionals assesses each resident’s abilities and develops a care plan that reflects the
unique needs of that individual. Interaction with other residents and staff is encouraged and monitored at all times.
Willow Hall's physical environment has been specially adapted to improve
each resident's potential to become more independent. A large central hallway flanked on either side by private or semi-private
bedrooms, a spacious living room and large dining room are adjoined by a large restroom for easy access. Weather permitting,
residents may access a lovely outdoor courtyard enclosed by a decorative security fence. A specially designed "walking
loop" within the courtyard often helps ambulatory residents who feel restless to relax by providing a physical outlet
for excess energy.
Willow Hall is a "secured" unit
with a magnetic door-locking system which provides a fire safe exit yet limits unauthorized entry and exit. Together,
the physical characteristics of Willow Hall provide safety, security and support for residents --- while Willow Hall's specially
trained staff provide the rest.
