The Gardens of Rome in Rome, GA is a dedicated Memory Care community. Residents receive round-the-clock supervision from staff trained in dementia support, with licensed nurses overseeing individualized care plans and medication management. The community maintains a secure environment with monitored entry points and emergency response systems in every apartment to reduce wandering risks and promote fast medical intervention when needed. Coordination with local physicians, regular wellness checks, and on-site therapy services help address changing health conditions promptly.
Beyond direct medical attention, the community delivers practical daily assistance such as help with bathing, dressing, and incontinence management. Routine housekeeping and laundry services free residents from household responsibilities, while scheduled transportation to medical appointments ensures continuity of outside care. Structured cognitive activities, fall-prevention programs, and family care plan meetings round out the support model, aiming to sustain both safety and mental engagement for residents living with memory loss.
Private and companion suites are available furnished or unfurnished, allowing residents and families to choose what works best. Some residences are situated near the library and computer lounge for easy internet access and quiet reading, while others open toward landscaped outdoor areas that offer secured fresh-air space. Because floor plans vary, not every apartment includes the same proximity or features, so families should confirm specific details during a tour.
Meals follow an all-day dining schedule, giving residents flexibility to eat on their own timetable—a helpful option for those with memory-related appetite changes. Menus are reviewed by nutritional professionals, and the kitchen can accommodate physician-ordered or resident-requested special diets, including low-sodium and diabetic options. Staff members are present in the dining room to cue or assist residents who need help with utensils or portion control, supporting adequate nutrition and hydration.
An on-site activity center provides space for daily programs such as exercise classes, art sessions, and small-group games that are adapted for varying cognitive levels. Participation is encouraged but never forced, allowing residents to engage at a pace that suits their abilities while maintaining social interaction and routine.
