What happens at Joanne's Community Care Home II if a resident's memory declines?
DPH's record for Joanne's Community Care Home II has no Alzheimer's special care unit flag, so it has no secured dementia area; someone who begins to wander would usually need to move to a facility that has one.
A diagnosis of mild dementia is not by itself a reason to refuse admission; what matters is whether the person is safe and whether staff can meet the need. The closest senior CRCFs flagged for a secured unit are Harmony Collection at Columbia (AL/MC) (2.1 mi), Palmettos of Parklane (2.3 mi).
