Cognitive decline doesn't move in a straight line — and care shouldn't either. At Encompass, a nurse practitioner oversees every care plan, and our 10-bed home adapts as the disease changes.
Dementia and Alzheimer's progress over years, not weeks. The right home meets each stage — without forcing a move every time needs change.
Memory lapses, repeated questions, and difficulty with planning. Here, care is mostly about structure, gentle cueing, safety in the background, and preserving independence and dignity for as long as possible.
Increased confusion, wandering, sundowning, and more help needed with daily tasks. Routines, environment, and consistent caregivers become essential. This is where a small, familiar home truly shows its value.
Significant care needs, limited mobility and communication. We coordinate hospice and comfort-focused care so residents can stay in the home they know, surrounded by people who know them.
Encompass is owned and clinically guided by Paige, a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP, FNP-BC). That isn't a marketing line — it changes how care decisions get made.
Every resident has an individualized care plan built around their diagnosis, history, and current stage, and it's reviewed and adjusted by a provider as the condition evolves. When something changes — a new behavior, a medication question, a decline — there's clinical judgment in the house, not a phone tree to an off-site nurse.
The hard parts of dementia are easier to manage in a calm, consistent, secured home with staff who know each resident.
Secured entries and a monitored, enclosed outdoor space let residents move freely and safely — so the answer to wandering is a safe path to walk, not a locked door.
Late-day agitation is met with predictable routines, calm lighting, lower stimulation, and one-on-one reassurance from a caregiver the resident recognizes.
We focus on triggers, not just symptoms — adjusting the environment and routine first, with medication managed thoughtfully under clinical oversight when it's genuinely needed.
For someone whose world is becoming confusing, scale matters. Ten residents in a familiar house is fundamentally calmer than a hundred in a building.
Medications are administered and tracked on-site by trained staff, under nurse-practitioner oversight — no off-site pharmacy runaround for families. And because the setting is small, caregivers learn each resident's cues and catch subtle changes — a new confusion, a fall risk, a quiet decline — long before they'd surface in a larger facility.
Bring your questions. We'll talk honestly about where your loved one is and whether Encompass is the right fit — no pressure, no sales pitch.
Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia, but “dementia” covers several conditions — vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and others. At Encompass we care for residents across these diagnoses and tailor the care plan to the specific condition and stage, rather than treating them all the same.
In most cases, yes. Our aim is aging in place — we adjust the care plan and coordinate home health and hospice so residents can remain in a familiar home through later stages, rather than being moved each time their needs increase.
The home has secured entries and a monitored, enclosed outdoor area, so residents have a safe space to move. Combined with 24/7 awake staff, this addresses wandering without an institutional, locked-down feel.
Trained staff administer and track medications on-site, under the oversight of our nurse-practitioner owner. Medication changes are handled thoughtfully and in coordination with the resident's physicians.
We start with the environment and routine — predictable schedules, calm lighting, lower stimulation in the late afternoon, and one-on-one reassurance from familiar caregivers. Medication is used carefully and only when truly warranted.
Yes. Because we're a small home, communication with families is direct and personal. You'll hear about meaningful changes from people who actually know your loved one.
