Maris Pointe in Venice, FL provides two levels of care: Assisted Living for residents who need routine support with daily tasks and Memory Care for those living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, including advanced conditions. Clinical oversight includes management of wandering behaviors during both day and night, elopement risk, combative or other behavioral challenges, special diets, and diabetes controlled by oral medication. Residents have access to on-site hospice, wound care, medication management, occupational and physical therapy, podiatry, dentistry, and incontinence and ambulatory services. Personal care covers some assistance with bathing, eating, and dressing, plus full assistance with toileting. Mobility help ranges from standby supervision to one-person transfers for walkers and wheelchairs.
Round-the-clock medical supervision is provided by an RN or LPN, with an awake night-shift nurse and continuous security staffing. Background-checked team members monitor alarmed doors, a fenced rear area, and an enclosed courtyard designed for residents who may wander. The layout and programming are built to reduce confusion and support memory retention, and an activity director coordinates structured engagement throughout the day.
Accommodations include studio and efficiency apartments equipped with central air, Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, and wheelchair-accessible showers; select units add kitchenettes, in-unit washer/dryer, or other features, so prospective residents should confirm availability.
