St. Gabriel of Corpus Christi specializes in memory-care, providing structured daily routines and oversight designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Care plans are individualized, and the staff is trained to address cognitive changes, manage behavioral symptoms, and maintain residents’ safety while supporting as much independence as possible.
The community supplements its memory-care program with on-site medical support services. Nurses monitor glucose levels and administer insulin for residents who need diabetes care, and respite or short-term stays are available for families requiring temporary assistance. A physician visits the building regularly for assessments and care plan updates, and a speech therapist works with residents who have communication or swallowing challenges. The property is a fully secured community, using controlled entry points to help prevent wandering.
Private and companion suites are offered, and some can accommodate small pets, although specific pet policies should be confirmed with the staff. Select units feature wheelchair-accessible showers, Wi-Fi, individual climate control, and views of the central fireplace or landscaped outdoor areas; these features vary by room type, so prospective residents will want to confirm which options are available. On-site parking is provided for visitors and residents who still drive.
Meals are prepared three times daily and served restaurant-style, with an all-day dining program that allows residents to eat on their own schedule. The culinary team can produce no-sugar recipes for diabetic residents and offers rotating international dishes alongside familiar favorites. Guest meals are available for visiting family members, and hydration stations and snacks remain accessible between mealtimes.
Residents have access to an activity center that hosts clubs, karaoke nights, yoga and chair-yoga classes, and scheduled live-music events. Indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, and a swimming pool support low-impact exercise, while fitness programs cater to varying strength and mobility levels. Reminiscence and sensory-based programs run daily to reinforce memory-care goals, and intergenerational visits, birthday parties, dances, and off-site social outings add variety to the calendar. A library and computer lounge provide quiet spaces for reading or email, and the Jacuzzi offers a place for relaxation after activities.
