Loma Linda Assisted Living & Memory Care is dedicated exclusively to Memory Care, offering structured programming and supervision for residents dealing with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Care plans are individualized and overseen by licensed nursing staff who monitor cognitive changes, medication schedules, and behavioral cues around the clock. In addition to long-term Memory Care, the community accepts respite or short-term stays, allowing families to trial the setting or provide relief for a primary caregiver.
Medical oversight is reinforced by regular physician visits, diabetes management protocols, and on-site speech therapy that targets communication or swallowing issues common to dementia. The entire residence is a secured community, so doors, courtyards, and common areas are monitored to reduce wandering risk while maintaining freedom of movement inside safe boundaries.
Private and semi-private suites can be furnished or personalized, and some layouts include kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, balconies, patios, or handicap-accessible bathrooms with wheelchair-friendly showers. Housekeeping, scheduled laundry, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and parking are available; a central fireplace, outdoor decks, and landscaped areas provide additional gathering spots. Because room configurations vary, not every accommodation includes every listed feature, so it is advisable to verify specifics during a tour.
Dining is prepared by a professional chef who offers set menus as well as an on-order option for residents who prefer more choice. Meals Provided covers three daily sittings, but all-day dining, guest meals, and in-room service can be arranged. Specialized diets—such as low sodium, no sugar, gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, puree, mechanical-chop, and thickened-liquid plans—are available, and modifications are coordinated with clinical staff to align with each resident’s health profile. A private dining room supports family gatherings, and snacks are stocked throughout the day.
Residents have access to a library and computer lounge, organized clubs, Montessori-informed and reminiscence programs, sensory-based activities, and intergenerational events that bring youth into the community. Indoor and outdoor walking paths, an activity center, fitness classes, a swimming pool, and scheduled social outings round out daily engagement. Birthday parties and other special events are built into the calendar to maintain routine and a sense of community.
