Avenir Memory Care at Surprise is a dedicated memory care community that serves residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. The team is trained to manage the medical and behavioral needs common to cognitive decline, and licensed nurses supervise 24-hour care. Diabetes management is available, including blood sugar monitoring and medication administration. Families needing a short respite placement or rehabilitation after hospitalization can arrange temporary stays, and on-staff physicians and a speech therapist provide additional oversight for complex health profiles.

The campus operates as a fully secured environment, minimizing wandering risks while still allowing safe movement within common areas. Residents have access to hospice services, in-house medication management, and support for psychiatric conditions that often accompany memory loss. Regular visits from an optometrist, dentist, podiatrist, occupational therapist, and physical therapist reduce the need for outside appointments, and the community is equipped to deliver incontinence and ambulatory care. Every program and layout detail has been designed specifically to accommodate memory impairment, making it a memory-care-only setting.

Private suites are available furnished or unfurnished, and residents may repaint or decorate them to personal preference. Units include independent temperature controls, wheelchair-accessible showers, and private bathrooms in many layouts, although not every room has every feature. Scheduled housekeeping and laundry keep clothing and linens clean, and outdoor courtyards give residents a controlled place for fresh air and exercise.

Meals are prepared by a professional chef, with three daily sittings plus snacks throughout the day. Residents can order from a menu or choose the set entrée, and in-room dining is offered when illness or personal preference requires. The culinary staff accommodates diet modifications such as gluten-free selections, vegetarian options, thickened liquids, mechanical chopped textures, purées, and physician-ordered diabetic plans. Not all rooms have kitchenettes, so the central dining room is the primary venue for daily nutrition.

Recreational options include an activity center, fitness and yoga sessions, indoor walking paths, and a swimming pool for low-impact exercise. Residents can join clubs, reminiscence groups, intergenerational programs, and community outings. Live music, karaoke nights, birthday celebrations, and a library with computer access round out the calendar, providing structure and social engagement that complement the clinical services on site.
