The Arbors at Victorian Place of Washington is dedicated to memory care, with staff trained specifically to support residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias. A licensed nurse is on-site or on-call around the clock, overseeing individualized care plans, medication administration, glucose monitoring, and coordination with physicians and pharmacies. Certified caregivers assist with bathing, dressing, grooming, continence management, and mobility at any hour. The community maintains a secure environment with monitored entrances and enclosed outdoor areas to minimize the risk of wandering while still allowing safe access to fresh air.

Beyond direct medical oversight, The Arbors offers regular health assessments, fall-prevention checks, and rehabilitation therapy coordination for residents returning from hospital or skilled-nursing stays. Family members receive education and support groups to help them understand disease progression and care techniques. Scheduled transportation is available for outside medical appointments, and an emergency call system links every resident to staff within seconds. Daily cognitive programs, exercise classes, and sensory activities are tailored to each person’s abilities to help maintain function and reduce agitation.

Accommodations include private and companion suites equipped with emergency response pull cords, individual climate controls, and accessible bathrooms; some have walk-in showers, kitchenette features, or bay windows, but not every unit includes every feature. Housekeeping, linen service, and personal laundry are provided, and maintenance attends to routine repairs. Residents can relax in secured courtyards, common living rooms, and a multipurpose activity area. Small pets are permitted; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.

Three nutritionally balanced meals are served daily in a central dining room, with menu options modified for texture, sodium, or sugar as ordered by the resident’s physician or dietitian. Snacks and beverages are available throughout the day, and staff provide discreet assistance for those who need help with eating. Families are welcome to join during special events or arrange private celebrations in a reservable space. A registered dietitian reviews menus regularly to ensure compliance with dietary guidelines and resident preferences.
