Parkrose Gardens of Fairfield is a dedicated memory-care community that works exclusively with residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. The program is designed for both long-term stays and short-term respite care, giving families flexible options while ensuring that residents receive consistent support. Care plans are individualized, adjusted as conditions change, and overseen by licensed nurses who coordinate closely with physicians.

Medical oversight includes scheduled on-site doctor visits, diabetes monitoring and management, and access to a speech therapist for residents who need help with communication or swallowing. The entire property is a secured community, restricting entry and exit points to keep residents safe while allowing freedom of movement within designated areas. Staff members receive ongoing dementia-specific training, and care teams are available around the clock for assistance with medication, mobility, and daily living tasks.

Residences at Parkrose Gardens are designed with practical comfort in mind. Some units feature wheelchair-accessible showers, individual climate controls, and views of the landscaped outdoor areas, though not every room includes every element. Common spaces may offer a piano or organ for resident use, and patios and courtyards provide additional places to sit or stroll when weather permits.

The culinary program provides three chef-planned meals each day with an option for all-day dining. Menus rotate to include international dishes, vegetarian selections, low- or no-sodium entrées, and desserts prepared without added sugar. Guests can join residents for meals, which makes it easier for families to visit and share time without leaving the property.
