Palm Assisted Living in Burlingame is dedicated exclusively to Memory Care, supporting residents who live with moderate dementia and related conditions. The care team is trained to manage wandering behaviors throughout the day and evening and can monitor residents who require oral diabetic medications. Clinical oversight extends to both assisted-living and memory-care medical services on site, giving families confidence that changes in condition will be evaluated promptly.
Around-the-clock staffing and security measures underpin daily life at the community. All employees undergo background checks, and trained personnel remain on site 24 hours a day. Exterior entrances and fenced outdoor areas are secured, while door alarms and a personal emergency response system alert staff in real time. Residents can receive hands-on help with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting when some physical assistance is needed, and staff are equipped to manage transfers ranging from walker or wheelchair support to one- or two-person assists.
Private and companion suites are available, with basic furnishings provided for those who prefer to move in immediately. Families who wish to personalize a room may repaint walls or add décor so the space feels familiar and comfortable. Not every unit includes every optional feature, so it is best to review specific layouts during a visit.
Daily meals are prepared with attention to nutritional guidelines, and the kitchen can accommodate physician-ordered diet modifications when required. Scheduled snack times and open access to lighter fare help residents maintain stable energy levels, and staff are present in the dining room to cue or assist with eating as needed.
Residents have access to wheelchair-friendly common areas, a secure communal garden, and on-site medication management and monitoring. Housekeeping and personal laundry are included, and scheduled transportation is offered for local appointments or outings. For residents who prefer public transit, bus and train options are located nearby.
