Silver Sage – Assisted Living & Memory Care in Brenham provides a dedicated Memory Care program designed for residents living with all stages of dementia, including advanced conditions. The clinical team is prepared to care for residents who wander, are prone to elopement or combative behaviors, remain awake throughout the night, or require oxygen therapy. Staff are also experienced in managing special diets and supporting diabetics who use oral medications. Younger adults under 60 who need Memory Care are accepted, and individualized care plans are developed for each resident to address these varied health situations.
A nurse is on call around the clock, backed by awake night-shift caregivers and a full security system that includes door alarms, a fenced rear area, 24-hour staffing, background-checked employees, and PERS devices that immediately alert staff. Medication management is handled on site, and team members provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby support to one- or two-person transfers, accommodating residents who use walkers or wheelchairs and those who need more hands-on assistance.
Apartments offer practical features such as private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable access, and the option to repaint or personalize the room; however, not every unit includes every feature. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are part of the standard support, keeping living spaces clean and clothing maintained without residents having to manage these tasks themselves.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to support nutritional needs identified in each care plan. Between meals, snacks are always available, and the kitchen can provide mechanically chopped, pureed, or thickened-liquid options to promote safe swallowing and adequate nutrition for residents who need texture modifications.
Residents have wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, landscaped communal gardens, regularly scheduled religious services, and community transportation for medical appointments and local outings.
