Highland Estates in Burley provides two levels of senior care: assisted living and a dedicated memory care program. Licensed caregivers are on-site around the clock to help assisted-living residents with medication administration, bathing, dressing, mobility support, and other activities of daily living. For individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, the secure memory care neighborhood offers structured daily schedules, behavior management protocols, and staff trained in redirection techniques. Both service lines rely on individualized care plans developed and reviewed by nursing staff, allowing changes in a resident’s condition to be addressed quickly.
Additional clinical resources at the community include an on-site nurse, regular visits from primary-care physicians and specialists, and coordination with outside home-health, therapy, and hospice providers when needed. Residents have access to scheduled physical, occupational, and speech therapy, laboratory and pharmacy delivery services, and transportation to local medical appointments. Each apartment is equipped with an emergency call system that links directly to staff, and wearable pendants are offered to residents who may be at higher fall risk. Routine health assessments, vitals monitoring, and immunization clinics are all handled on-site to minimize disruptive outside trips.
Living accommodations range from compact studio suites to larger one-bedroom and companion apartments, all designed with step-free layouts and bathrooms fitted with grab bars and walk-in showers. Each unit includes basic utilities, maintenance, weekly housekeeping, and linen service; select floor plans add kitchenettes, additional storage, patio access, or upgraded flooring, but not all accommodations have all the features. Memory care residences are located in a secured wing with monitored exits and visual cues to aid way-finding, while assisted-living apartments are in an unrestricted area that still offers the same in-room emergency response equipment. Residents may furnish their spaces with personal belongings, and temperature controls allow individual climate settings.
The culinary team prepares three daily meals served restaurant-style in the main dining room, with menu choices that rotate to incorporate seasonal produce and resident preferences. A registered dietitian oversees therapeutic diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, gluten-free, or mechanically altered textures, and staff provide feeding assistance and cueing for those in memory care. Snacks and beverages are available throughout the day, and residents who are unwell may request tray service at no extra charge. Family gatherings can be accommodated in a private dining area when reserved in advance, and feedback meetings are held regularly so residents can suggest menu adjustments or favorite recipes.
