BeeHive Homes of Stockbridge is purpose-built for memory care and admits residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Short-term respite stays are accepted, which can be helpful for family caregivers who need a temporary break or for individuals recovering from a hospitalization. The staff supports diabetes management through regular glucose checks and assistance with insulin, and a speech therapist is on call to address dysphagia or communication concerns that often accompany cognitive decline.
The community is secured to prevent unsafe wandering and maintains licensed nurses around the clock for medication management, incontinence care, ambulatory assistance, and hospice coordination when required. On-site or visiting professionals—optometrist, dentist, podiatrist, occupational therapist, and physical therapist—reduce travel to outside offices. The entire layout, from lighting to signage, is designed for dementia support, and the property operates exclusively as a memory-care setting, ensuring that all staff training and programming are dementia-focused.
Private and shared suites are available, and although not every room offers every feature, select accommodations include kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, in-room Wi-Fi, and individual climate control. The building is handicap accessible throughout, with common areas featuring a central fireplace, a piano for resident use, and various outdoor spaces for supervised relaxation. Family parking is on site for convenient visits.
Dining is overseen by a professional chef who prepares three daily meals plus snacks, served restaurant style or through all-day dining for flexible schedules. Menus accommodate kosher, vegetarian, low-sodium, and no-sugar diets, and guest meals can be arranged when family and friends join residents. Staff closely monitor nutritional intake to ensure memory-care residents stay hydrated and receive balanced meals that match medical directives.
Residents have access to an activity center, a library and computer lounge, and both indoor and outdoor walking paths for safe exercise. Programs include reminiscence sessions, intergenerational visits, clubs, yoga or chair yoga, fitness classes, and structured social outings. Special events such as birthday parties, dances, live music performances, and swimming or jacuzzi sessions round out the calendar, providing consistent opportunities for cognitive stimulation and social engagement.
