Benton House of Grayson provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care. The community is equipped to manage early-stage memory loss as well as advanced dementia and accepts residents who wander during the day or night, are at risk for elopement, stay up all night, or require wound care and oxygen therapy. The staff can handle specialized dietary needs, including management for residents on oral diabetes medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale coverage, and also accommodates younger adults under 60 when appropriate.

Around-the-clock support is reinforced by licensed nurses on staff and an RN or LPN available by phone 24 hours a day. All employees undergo background checks, and awake night-shift caregivers monitor residents while a pull-cord system and personal emergency response devices immediately alert staff if assistance is needed. On-site podiatry, audiology, and dental services reduce the need for off-site appointments. Caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and can manage transfers that range from walker and wheelchair help to one- or two-person lifts.

Apartments vary in layout and features, but many include a private bathroom, kitchenette, individual climate controls, cable hookups, and the option for residents to paint or decorate to their preference. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are part of the monthly fee, although not every accommodation has every feature listed.

Meals feature a set menu with daily specials, but residents may also order alternative dishes. Snacks are accessible throughout the day, and the culinary team can honor doctor-ordered diet modifications, including mechanical-chopped textures and diabetic meal plans.

Resident amenities include parking spaces, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, a movie room, internet access, communal gardens, an on-site chapel for religious services, and a library. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and local outings. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Outdoor smoking areas are provided.
