Azalea Manor in Orlando specializes in memory-care and is equipped to support residents living with early to advanced stages of dementia. The care team is trained to monitor and manage behaviors common to these conditions, including wandering during the day or night, elopement risk, and residents who remain awake throughout nighttime hours. Nurses also track special dietary needs and can oversee meal plans for individuals on physician-ordered restrictions or diabetics managed with oral medications.
Registered and licensed nurses are on staff, all employees undergo background checks, and an activity director plans daily programming. Safety measures include 24-hour staffing, a secured perimeter with front and rear fencing, door alarms, and Wander Guard technology. For personal care, the community supplies full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from supervision for walker users to one- or two-person transfers for wheelchair users.
Apartments can feature a private bathroom, furnishings, and independent temperature controls, although not every unit offers all of these elements. Families can review floor plans and available options during a visit.
Meals are prepared on site, and the kitchen staff works closely with nursing to modify textures or nutrients as prescribed. Residents on low-sugar, low-salt, or other medically indicated diets have their menus adjusted accordingly.
Additional conveniences include resident parking for those who still drive and in-house home health and hospice services that allow many to remain in place even as health needs change.
