Symphony at St. Augustine is a memory-care community designed for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Licensed nurses oversee medication administration, monitor vital signs and coordinate closely with physicians to adjust care plans as conditions change. Care staff are on duty around the clock and are trained in redirection techniques, behavior management and fall prevention specific to cognitive impairment. The secure environment limits wandering while still allowing residents to move about freely within monitored areas, and an electronic alert system immediately notifies staff if assistance is needed.

Additional medical and supportive services include onsite physical, occupational and speech therapy, routine podiatry and dental visits, and scheduled transportation to outside medical appointments. An evidence-based activities program targets cognitive stimulation and motor skills, and small group engagement is used to reduce anxiety and promote social interaction. Families receive regular care conferences, and the community maintains detailed documentation to track changes in behavior, nutrition and mobility. Emergency response protocols, including rapid access to local hospitals, are in place to address urgent health needs.

Living spaces range from private suites to companion rooms, each with individual climate controls, emergency call pull-cords and bathrooms equipped with safety rails and walk-in showers. Weekly housekeeping, linen service and trash removal are standard, and maintenance staff handle repairs. Some rooms add features such as kitchenettes or bay windows, but these options are not present in every accommodation, so prospective residents should confirm availability during a tour.

Residents receive three daily meals plus snacks served in a dining room designed to minimize distraction and encourage independent eating. Menus are developed under the guidance of a registered dietitian, and modified textures or therapeutic diets, including diabetic and low-sodium options, are prepared as ordered by physicians. Staff are available to cue or assist residents who need help with utensils, and adaptive tableware is supplied when required. A private dining space can be reserved for family gatherings, and hydration stations remain accessible throughout the day.
