The Monarch at Henderson offers dedicated Memory Care, providing tailored support for residents experiencing Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Care plans are individualized and updated as needs change, and on-site professionals manage chronic conditions such as diabetes through regular monitoring and coordination with a visiting doctor. A speech therapist is available for residents who need help maintaining or regaining communication skills tied to cognitive decline.
The secured community is staffed by nurses and caregivers trained in dementia care 24/7. Medication management is handled on-site, and services such as podiatry, ambulatory care, incontinence care, hospice coordination, and therapies—occupational, physical, and memory-specific—are delivered without residents leaving the building. Apartments and common areas are designed specifically to accommodate memory loss, reinforcing safety and orientation.
Accommodations include private or companion suites that may feature wheelchair-accessible showers, handicap-friendly layouts, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, individually controlled air conditioning, and access to outdoor areas. Some units overlook the courtyard, while others are closer to the central fireplace or piano lounge—important for those who benefit from readily available gathering spaces. Parking is provided for visiting family members, and prospective residents should note that not every room contains every listed feature.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and can accommodate kosher, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, organic, low-sodium, and no-sugar preferences, supporting both medical and cultural requirements. Restaurant-style dining is available all day, and guests can join residents for meals. Menus draw on international cuisine, and nutrition oversight ensures consistency with physician-ordered diets.
Daily life is supplemented by an activity center, indoor and outdoor walking paths, a library and computer lounge, raised garden beds, structured clubs, karaoke, happy hour, yoga and chair yoga, reminiscence and sensory-based programs, intergenerational gatherings, birthday celebrations, dances, live music, fitness classes, social outings, and access to a swimming pool. These programs are scheduled to align with cognitive support goals and to encourage safe engagement.
