Bowen Elderly provides a dedicated memory-care program, staffed around the clock by caregivers trained in dementia support and behavior management. Residents receive individualized care plans, medication administration, and continuous safety monitoring within secured areas designed to minimize confusion and wandering. The community also offers respite or short-term stays, giving families temporary relief while ensuring their loved ones benefit from the same level of professional oversight, cognitive engagement, and medical coordination available to long-term residents.
Additional clinical services include on-site nursing oversight, routine health assessments, and coordination with outside physicians, therapists, and pharmacies. Emergency response systems are installed throughout resident areas, and caregivers are prepared to arrange hospital transfers or specialist visits when needed. The staff maintains detailed electronic health records, tracks vital signs, and communicates changes promptly to families and medical providers. Scheduled transportation to medical appointments and in-house therapy sessions further streamline residents’ access to care.
Accommodations range from studio apartments to larger suites, some on the ground floor and others with private patios, decks, or balconies. Select units feature wheelchair-accessible showers, full kitchens, bath tubs, air conditioning, and cable or satellite TV, while common areas include a central fireplace, computer or media center, indoor lounges, and outdoor gathering spaces. Wi-Fi is available throughout the campus, resident parking is offered for those who still drive, and all pathways meet handicap-accessibility standards. Not every apartment has every listed feature, so prospective residents are encouraged to verify specifics during a tour.
Dining services provide three chef-prepared meals daily with an anytime-dining option for flexible scheduling. Menus accommodate low or no sodium, no added sugar, vegetarian, vegan, and organic requests, and staff can adapt textures for those with swallowing issues. Room service is available when residents prefer to dine privately, and guest meals allow visiting family to join. Seasonal barbecues and picnics are organized in the outdoor patio areas to add variety to the routine.
Residents have access to an arts and crafts center, structured art and cooking classes, gardening clubs with raised beds, and on-site activities such as trivia games, karaoke, Wii bowling, and stretching or yoga sessions, including the Forever Fit program. The calendar also features day trips, holiday parties, birthday celebrations, choir practice, live music performances, dances, and Bible study. Quilting or sewing clubs, cards and pinochle groups, and a Live Well series round out the offerings, ensuring daily opportunities for social engagement and purposeful recreation.
