Ellery Arbor Memory Care in Colleyville, TX is a dedicated memory-care community equipped to serve residents with mild to advanced dementia. The program centers on evidence-based memory support and accepts individuals who wander during the day or night, have a history of elopement, require oxygen, follow special diets, or manage diabetes with oral medication. Care plans are individualized and regularly updated to address cognitive changes, behavioral needs, and chronic medical conditions, ensuring consistent attention to safety and symptom management.

Round-the-clock oversight is provided by an on-site RN or LPN during the day and an awake night staff with a nurse on call 24 hours. All employees undergo background checks, and resident areas are protected with door alarms, fenced outdoor spaces, and in-room pull cords that alert staff. On-site services include hospice coordination, medication management, incontinence care, ambulatory and occupational therapy, physical therapy, podiatry, dental and vision visits, and regular massage therapy. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and staff can perform standby, one-person, or two-person transfers, whether a resident uses a walker or wheelchair.

Suites are designed to reduce confusion and support independence, offering a private bathroom, independent climate controls, and cable service in many units. Because floor plans vary, not every accommodation contains every feature, so prospective residents should confirm availability of specific details during a visit.

Meals follow a set menu tailored for cognitive care, with kitchen staff trained to provide texture modifications, diabetic-friendly options, and other physician-ordered diets. Snacks are accessible throughout the day and evening to help residents who prefer smaller, more frequent meals or who are up late at night.
