The Arbors at Monterey Village delivers dedicated memory care, concentrating on residents who live with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Licensed nurses oversee medication management twenty-four hours a day, conduct regular health assessments, and coordinate with outside physicians to keep care plans current. Staff members are trained in dementia-specific techniques that aim to reduce agitation and promote familiarity. An on-site emergency response system allows rapid attention to changes in condition, and routine vital-sign monitoring helps detect issues early.
Beyond direct medical oversight, the community supports residents with structured daily schedules that include cognitive exercises, reminiscence activities, and supervised outings designed for memory care safety. Caregivers assist with bathing, dressing, and other daily tasks while encouraging as much independence as possible. A secured landscaped courtyard lets residents spend time outdoors without leaving the protective perimeter, and electronic door controls further reduce wandering risks. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy visits can be arranged on site, and transportation is available for outside medical appointments.
Accommodation options include private and companion suites with step-in showers, grab bars, individually controlled heating and air conditioning, and basic cable. Select floor plans provide kitchenettes, while others emphasize open layouts for easier mobility; not all accommodations have all the features. Weekly housekeeping and laundry are included, and maintenance personnel handle repairs. Small pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
Residents receive three meals a day in the communal dining room, with menus planned by a dietary team that can accommodate physician-ordered modifications such as low-sodium, diabetic, or puréed diets. A choice of entrées is offered at each sitting, and snacks are available around the clock. Staff members provide cueing or direct assistance for those who need help eating, and adaptive utensils can be supplied. Families are welcome to join their loved ones for meals by arrangement, making it easier to observe how dining services support resident nutrition.
