Apple Gardens in Apple Valley operates as a residential care home and is structured to manage moderate dementia conditions. The staff is trained to monitor and assist residents who wander during either the day or night, and care protocols are in place for behavioral issues, wound care, oxygen use, special diets, and diabetics on oral medications. In-house medical services include full incontinence care, eliminating the need for routine trips out of the building for this support.
To maintain resident safety, all employees undergo background checks, and the property has both front and rear fencing with door alarms to deter unsupervised exits. Direct care includes full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer capabilities range from simple standby help to two-person transfers and Hoyer lifts for bed-bound residents. Walkers and wheelchairs are accommodated without restrictions.
Rooms come furnished, though residents may paint or decorate to suit personal preferences. Cable service is available in select rooms, and housekeeping is provided. Not all accommodations have every feature, so confirming room specifics during a tour is recommended.
Meals are offered through a set menu, but the kitchen can also prepare food to order. Snacks are available throughout the day, and a private dining room can be reserved for guests. The team manages diet modifications such as gluten-free choices, vegetarian options, mechanical chopped or puréed textures, and thickened liquids for safe swallowing.
Amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, and full wheelchair accessibility. Pets are allowed, but it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Transportation services cover scheduled medical appointments, and the location is close to public transit for additional travel needs.
