Arden Courts of Kenwood is dedicated exclusively to Memory Care, concentrating on residents who live with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, including advanced stages. Clinical teams are prepared to manage wandering behaviors day and night, respond to elopement risks, and address complex behavioral symptoms. Medical oversight covers special dietary requirements, diabetics on oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale regimens, as well as residents who may stay awake throughout the night. The community is structured to support individuals who need full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting, and the staff is trained to adjust care plans quickly when health conditions change.
Continuous nursing coverage underpins daily life. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on-site 24 hours, with a second nurse on call, while all caregivers remain awake through the night. Background checks are standard, and the building is protected by door alarms, fenced outdoor areas, and pull-cord alert systems. Arden Courts can admit residents with documented psychiatric diagnoses and supplies one-person or two-person transfers, standby assistance, walker support, or wheelchair mobility, depending on each person’s capabilities. An activity director oversees programming that meets therapeutic goals while clinical personnel monitor health indicators.
Private suites may include a bathroom, a small kitchenette, and basic furnishings, though not every unit offers every feature. Families can choose the layout that best fits their budget and the resident’s needs. Meals follow a set menu served in a central dining space, with snacks available at all times and staff able to prepare texture-modified or physician-ordered diets. Independent-living residents who live elsewhere on campus can receive medication-management monitoring as well as housekeeping and personal laundry services without enrolling in full Memory Care.
The property accommodates a straightforward lifestyle with practical amenities such as wheelchair-accessible pathways, an exercise room, wellness center, barber and beauty salon, movie room, internet access, communal gardens, and an activity and craft studio that uses visual cues to reinforce orientation. On-site religious services and a full calendar of programs encourage social engagement. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
