Our House Memory Care – Austin is a dedicated memory care residence that serves individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Licensed nurses oversee medication administration, health monitoring, and coordination with residents’ physicians, while trained caregivers are on duty around the clock to provide hands-on assistance with bathing, dressing, and continence support. Care plans are individualized and reviewed routinely to keep pace with changes in each resident’s condition, and the community arranges transportation for outside medical appointments when needed.
In addition to its core medical services, the community offers structured cognitive and physical activities designed to help residents maintain daily skills and reduce anxiety. Staff receive ongoing dementia-specific training so they can recognize subtle behavioral changes and intervene early. A secured environment with monitored entrances and enclosed outdoor space protects residents who may wander, and emergency call systems in living areas allow staff to respond quickly.
The building provides a mix of private and companion suites; some have en-suite bathrooms and kitchenette features, while others share common facilities, so prospective residents should ask which floor plans match their preferences. Housekeeping, linen service, basic maintenance, and all utilities except personal telephone are included. Climate controls are located within most rooms, but availability can vary by unit.
Residents take their meals in a communal dining room where staff encourage participation and offer prompting or direct assistance as necessary. Menu planning emphasizes familiar, easy-to-manage foods, and therapeutic diets such as low-sodium or diabetic options can be accommodated when ordered by a physician. Snacks are accessible throughout the day, and hydration stations are placed in common areas. Family and friends are invited to join scheduled meals with advance notice, and private dining space can be reserved for small gatherings.
