Murrieta Gardens is dedicated exclusively to Memory Care, offering a secure setting staffed for residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Families can arrange respite or short-term stays, giving them flexibility while residents receive 24-hour support. On-site physicians oversee care plans, and the team is trained to monitor and manage diabetes, helping residents maintain safe blood-sugar levels through coordinated medication and nutrition oversight.
Additional medical resources are built into daily operations. The community maintains licensed nurses on site, provides regular dental and podiatry visits, and supports hospice coordination when needed. Services cover incontinence management, assistance for residents who remain ambulatory, and comprehensive medication administration. All common spaces and apartments are designed specifically to accommodate memory loss, reducing confusion and falls in this secured, memory-care-only setting.
Accommodations include private and companion suites that may feature kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, wheelchair-accessible showers, and handicap-accessible layouts. Some residences open to outdoor areas or a butterfly garden, and parking is available for those who still drive. While every apartment is comfortable, not all units include every listed feature, so prospective residents are encouraged to confirm which options are available during a tour.
Dining is handled by a professional chef who prepares three daily meals along with all-day dining choices. Menus rotate to include international dishes, vegetarian and vegan entrées, gluten-free selections, and offerings with no added sugar or low sodium to support diabetes management. Guests can join meals, and table service follows a restaurant-style format that helps residents maintain routine and social interaction.
Residents have access to a library and computer lounge, indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, and an activity center that hosts clubs, yoga and chair-yoga classes, fitness programs, and reminiscence and sensory-based sessions. The calendar also features karaoke, happy hour, live-music events, birthday parties, dances, intergenerational gatherings, and regular social outings. For those who enjoy aquatic exercise or leisure, an on-site swimming pool is available, providing another option for low-impact fitness and relaxation.
