Serenades at The Villages is a memory-care only community designed for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. The sole focus on memory care allows the team to specialize in cognitive support, with respite or short-term stays available for families who need temporary care. Diabetes management is offered, and on-call physicians and speech therapists contribute to a routine of medical oversight specifically tailored to the challenges of memory loss.
The community is secured to help reduce exit-seeking and wandering, and every resident plan includes 24/7 nurse monitoring, medication management, and access to hospice services when required. Occupational, physical, and speech therapists visit on-site, while dentists and podiatrists handle routine oral and foot health needs. Staff members are trained to manage incontinence issues, provide ambulatory assistance, and adapt daily routines to match each person’s cognitive abilities.
Private and companion suites come with options such as Wi-Fi, cable television, individual climate control, wheelchair-accessible showers, and views of outdoor areas that include a butterfly garden. Some apartments feature convenient touches like proximity to common areas, while others emphasize quiet corners for residents who benefit from reduced stimulation. Parking is available for visiting family members, and all accommodations are handicap accessible, though not every residence has every feature listed.
Meals follow a restaurant-style service model with all-day dining, allowing residents to eat on their preferred schedule. Daily menus feature low-sodium, no-sugar, and vegetarian choices, and guest meals can be arranged for visiting friends or family. Nutrition staff coordinate closely with clinical team members to adjust textures or portion sizes for residents who require specialized diets.
Residents have access to an activity center, library and computer lounge, clubs, and both indoor and outdoor walking paths. A pool, jacuzzi, raised garden beds, and scheduled fitness programs support physical wellness, while karaoke, live music, birthday parties, dances, and reminiscence or sensory-based programs promote social engagement. Yoga and chair yoga classes are available for varying mobility levels.
