The Pavilion at Tecolote Canyon offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with specialized programming for residents who wander during the day or night, remain awake overnight, require wound care, oxygen management, or oral diabetic medication, and those living with advanced dementia. Care teams are trained to notice changes quickly, and registered or licensed nurses are available to coordinate physician-directed plans. The community can also accept residents with co-existing psychiatric conditions, reducing the need for disruptive transfers to outside facilities.
Care delivery is backed by structured staffing and security. A registered nurse leads a clinical team supported by awake night staff, an activity director, and 24-hour security personnel. All employees undergo background checks, and the property uses door alarms, fenced outdoor areas, pull-cord systems, and personal emergency response devices to help residents alert staff. Full-assist support is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and the team is trained in walker, wheelchair, standby, one-person, and two-person transfers to reduce fall risk.
Private studios and suites are designed to meet a range of preferences and budgets. Some units include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual climate controls, cable hookup, and the option to repaint or decorate. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided, although availability of specific room features can vary. Independent Living residents on the same campus may add medication management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan while remaining largely self-directed.
Dining follows an on-order approach that lets residents choose meals at the point of service. Between meals, snacks are always available, and those who prefer privacy can take advantage of in-room dining. A reservable private dining room supports family gatherings, and the culinary team can provide gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid diets as ordered by clinicians.
Residents have access to on-site parking, a wheelchair-accessible campus, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, movie room, wellness center, library, and internet throughout common areas. A concierge coordinates transportation options, and the property is close to public transit. Communal gardens and walking paths are available for outdoor time, and pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
