Colonial Oaks Senior Living at Rockwall provides dedicated Memory Care that addresses the full range of cognitive and medical challenges common to dementia. The team is prepared for residents who wander day or night, attempt elopement, present combative or other behavioral issues, or stay awake during overnight hours. Clinical oversight covers wound care, oxygen therapy, special diet preparation, and diabetes management for both oral medication users and those who require injections. Residents under the age of 60 with advanced dementia can also be accommodated, allowing the community to serve a wider population that needs memory-focused support.
Round-the-clock care is built on an RN or LPN on staff, a 24-hour nurse on call, and an awake night shift. All employees undergo background checks, and the property is secured with door alarms, fenced outdoor areas, WanderGuard technology, pull-cord alerts, and staff on site 24/7. On-site services extend to visiting podiatrists and acceptance of psychiatric conditions, reducing the need for outside appointments. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they can manage transfers ranging from standby help to two-person lifts, whether a resident uses a walker or wheelchair.
Residences include options with private bathrooms, basic furnishings, and cable service, and families can personalize spaces with paint or décor. Because floor plans vary, not every room includes all listed features, so confirming availability during a tour is recommended.
Meals are available through both set menus and made-to-order selections, with snacks offered throughout the day and diet modifications managed for medical or cultural needs. Independent-living residents may enroll in medication-management monitoring, housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan, allowing them to maintain autonomy while still having essential support.
Community amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and scheduled transportation, with the added convenience of nearby public transit. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
