About Madonna Gardens Assisted Living & Memory Care

from Oasis Senior Advisors

Madonna Gardens Assisted Living & Memory Care supports residents through two primary care options: Assisted Living for those who need help with daily activities while maintaining independence, and a dedicated Memory Care program for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Short-term respite stays are available to provide relief for family caregivers or to help a resident transition from hospital to home. Specialized medical support includes diabetes monitoring, speech therapy for communication challenges, and consistent oversight by licensed professionals.

The community is secured to protect residents who may be prone to wandering and is purposely designed to accommodate memory loss. On-site medical resources include nurses who coordinate medications, manage incontinence, and oversee ambulatory support. A physical therapist and an occupational therapist work on strength, mobility, and activities of daily living, while a podiatrist addresses foot health. Hospice care is available when needed, and staff handle medication management to ensure each dose is taken correctly and on time.

Accommodations range from studios to larger layouts; many feature air conditioning, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi access, and kitchenettes, while select units add a balcony, terrace, or patio. Common areas such as an outdoor deck, central fireplace, piano, and well-maintained outdoor spaces invite socializing or quiet reflection. Pet-friendly policies mean many residents can bring a small companion animal, and wheelchair-accessible showers support those with mobility limitations. Because layouts vary, not every residence has every feature.

Dining is offered restaurant style with all-day service so residents can choose when to eat. A professional chef prepares meals and guest dining is welcome. Menus rotate through international dishes and can be customized for kosher, vegetarian, gluten-free, no-sugar, or low-sodium preferences. Three nutritious meals are provided daily, and the staff can adapt texture or portion sizes to align with medical or personal dietary needs.

Residents have a full calendar of activities and amenities. An activity center, library and computer lounge, and both indoor and outdoor walking paths encourage daily engagement. Clubs, fitness and yoga classes, swimming, dances, live music, karaoke, happy hours, and birthday celebrations foster social connections. Reminiscence and sensory-based programs, as well as intergenerational events, are specifically offered to support those in Memory Care. Regular social outings round out the schedule, ensuring residents have opportunities to remain active and involved.
