Ponte Palmero provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, giving residents access to tailored support that ranges from help with everyday routines to more specialized oversight for those living with dementia, including advanced stages. The team is equipped to address behaviors such as daytime or nighttime wandering and elopement, as well as challenges like remaining awake through the night. Medical oversight is available for wound care, oxygen use, special diets, diabetes managed by oral medication, and residents under the age of 60 whose needs match the community’s service scope.
Staff undergo background checks, and an awake night shift is in place to respond promptly to pull-cord alerts. A full-time Activity Director coordinates programming, while on-site podiatry, audiology, and a therapy room reduce the need for outside appointments. Caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they can accommodate a wide range of mobility needs, from supervision with a walker to one-person, two-person, or full Hoyer-lift transfers.
Apartments at Ponte Palmero vary in layout, but many include a private bathroom, independent temperature controls, and the option to paint or decorate the room. Cable service, housekeeping, and in-unit laundry are available, and some residences feature a full-sized kitchen for added independence. Because floor plans differ, not every unit contains every amenity, so it is worth confirming details during a tour.
Dining offers both a set menu and on-order selections, plus snacks around the clock and the option for in-room service. The culinary staff can handle mechanical-chop, puréed, and thickened-liquid textures, as well as vegetarian and other physician-ordered diet modifications to align with residents’ health plans.
Residents have access to on-site parking, outdoor smoking areas, and wheelchair-accessible common spaces. A barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, concierge desk, library, pool, hot tub, and a variety of special-interest clubs support an active lifestyle. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Transportation options include a community shuttle for medical appointments and a town car for scheduled outings.
