The Reserve at Braeswood delivers dedicated memory care designed for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, including advanced stages. Care teams are trained to respond to wandering, elopement risk, nighttime wakefulness, combative or other behavioral challenges, and they follow protocols for oxygen therapy, complex special diets, and diabetic management whether the resident uses oral medications or insulin injections. Admission is open to adults under 60 when appropriate, allowing younger residents with cognitive decline to receive the same structured support.

Registered and licensed nurses are on site, backed by 24-hour on-call nursing coverage. Every employee undergoes a background check, and an awake night staff monitors residents continuously. Door alarms, fenced outdoor areas, and round-the-clock security staff help reduce exit-seeking incidents. On-site podiatry visits, acceptance of psychiatric diagnoses, and an activity director further extend clinical and therapeutic resources. Residents who need full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting receive that help, and transfer capabilities range from standby or one-person support to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers for those with limited mobility.

Private and companion rooms are offered furnished, though families may repaint or redecorate to personalize the space. Cable service is available in select rooms, while other suites may require resident-provided equipment. Because configurations vary, not every accommodation includes every feature, so it is best to verify specific room details during a tour.

Meals follow a set menu created to meet nutritional guidelines, and the kitchen regularly prepares texture or nutrient-modified options for residents with diabetes, swallowing issues, or other physician-ordered diets. Fresh snacks are stocked throughout the day and night, allowing residents who are awake after hours to eat safely under staff supervision.

Amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, a wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and regularly scheduled religious services. An activities room hosts group programs coordinated with medication management to maintain safety. Backup power helps keep essential systems running during outages, and scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and outings. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
