The Cottages at Clear Lake is a memory care community designed for residents who need structured support due to Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Care is delivered by staff trained in cognitive impairment, with team members on-site around the clock to monitor health status, manage medications, and coordinate physician orders. Licensed nurses are available every day, and the community’s routine includes regular wellness checks to detect changes in condition quickly. Although cooking services are primarily a hospitality function, they are considered part of the on-site support system because meals are prepared to accommodate therapeutic diets and doctor-ordered nutritional plans.
Beyond direct medical oversight, the staff assists with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting. Care plans are individualized; residents receive as much or as little help as their current abilities require, and those plans are reviewed frequently to keep pace with changing needs. A secured environment with monitored entry points helps reduce the risk of wandering, and an emergency call response system links each resident to caregivers at any time of day or night. Transportation to off-site medical appointments can be arranged, and family members are kept up to date through scheduled care conferences.
Accommodations include private and companion suites equipped in many cases with in-room cable or satellite service, though availability of this feature depends on the specific unit selected. Residences are designed with wide doorways, accessible bathrooms, and clear sight lines to promote safety for those with cognitive challenges. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance are provided by the community, and residents are encouraged to personalize their living space with familiar items from home.
Dining is a communal experience, with three daily meals served in a shared dining room where staff can offer cueing or assistance as needed. Room service is an option for residents who prefer or require meals in their own suites, and guest meals are available so visiting family members can eat with loved ones. Therapeutic diets, texture modifications, and physician-ordered supplements are coordinated by the culinary team, and menu choices are reviewed regularly to ensure they meet both nutritional guidelines and resident preferences. Not every dining feature is available in every circumstance, so it is best to confirm specific options during a visit.
