Volante of Arlington Heights is dedicated exclusively to Memory Care, accepting residents with early to advanced dementia and related cognitive conditions. The community is prepared for residents who wander at any time of day, attempt elopement, display combative or other behavioral challenges, or stay awake overnight. Clinical staff manage oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes care for both oral medications and insulin injections, and they welcome adults under 60 who need cognitive support.
Round-the-clock nursing coverage includes an RN or LPN on site 24/7, with an additional nurse on call. Caregivers stay awake through the night and respond to pull-cord alerts. Background-checked staff monitor alarmed doors and a fenced outdoor area. Podiatry services come to the building, and residents with psychiatric diagnoses can be accommodated. Assistance is available at every level of bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and transfer help ranges from standby with a walker to two-person or full Hoyer-lift transfers, including bed-bound care.
Living spaces vary, but many offer private bathrooms, basic furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable access, and the option to paint or personalize the room; housekeeping and scheduled laundry are included. Because layouts differ, not every accommodation contains every listed feature, so families should confirm specific details during a visit.
Meals can follow a set menu or be ordered individually, with snacks always on hand. The kitchen modifies textures, portions, and ingredients to meet physician-ordered diets for diabetes, cardiac needs, or other medical restrictions, and staff are trained to cue or fully assist residents who have difficulty eating.
Residents may smoke in designated outdoor areas, bring approved pets, use wheelchair-accessible common areas, get haircuts at the on-site salon, and log on through community internet. Communal gardens, a library, and regular religious services provide additional engagement, and scheduled transportation connects residents to appointments and local outings. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
