Avita of Brunswick – Memory Care is designed for individuals with moderate dementia and offers a full memory-care program that centers on safety and predictable routines. Residents who need help bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting receive full assistance from trained aides, and mobility needs are met through support for walkers, wheelchairs, standby or supervised movement, and one-person transfers. Care plans are adjusted as residents’ cognitive or physical abilities change to help maintain the highest practical level of independence.
Clinical oversight is maintained by an RN or LPN on staff with a nurse on call 24 hours a day. The community completes background checks on team members, staffs an awake night shift, and keeps 24-hour security personnel on site. All exit doors are alarmed, the rear grounds are fenced, and apartments include pull cords and optional personal emergency response systems that alert staff. On-site medical providers visit for podiatry and audiology, and a dedicated therapy room is available for rehabilitation or exercise under professional guidance.
Accommodations range from private to shared suites, each designed to reduce confusion with clear sight lines and easy-to-use fixtures. Units may feature in-room showers, emergency call systems, and large windows, though not every room includes every feature, so it is best to confirm specifics during a tour. Housekeeping, personal laundry, and linen services are provided on a regular schedule to keep living areas clean and organized.
Dining follows a set menu created to address the nutritional needs common in dementia care, emphasizing balanced meals with familiar flavors served at consistent times. Staff members are present in the dining room to cue or fully assist residents who need help eating. Snacks are available throughout the day, and families can reserve a private dining room for celebrations or quiet visits.
Residents have access to an exercise room, a movie room for daily screenings, internet connectivity, and a library with large-print materials. Communal gardens provide secure outdoor space, and on-site religious services offer spiritual support. A barber and beauty shop operates several days a week, and scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and community outings. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
