Specialized and Safe Care for Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease

Seniors with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease require a special level of care to ensure their comfort and safety. Munson Healthcare's specially trained staff cares for our patients with memory care needs, including hospital-based care at Paul Oliver Memorial Hospital in Frankfort.

In addition, Munson Healthcare’s Medicare Five-Star rated Eden Center, located at Kalkaska Memorial Health Center, includes a 24-bed memory care unit that provides a compassionate and safe setting with decreased stimulation to help residents remain calm and content.

The Eden Center operates under the Eden Alternative® philosophy, which focuses on holistic care, including physical, emotional, and social support. Regardless of a person’s medical condition, the Eden Center supports an optimal level of well-being for staff, residents, and their families. By using Eden Alternative® concepts to eliminate loneliness, helplessness, and boredom, we help promote growth and enjoyment of life.
