Arden Courts of San Antonio is a dedicated memory care community equipped to serve residents at every stage of cognitive decline, including advanced dementia. The clinical team is prepared to address wandering behaviors at any hour, elopement risk, combativeness, nighttime wakefulness, and other behavioral challenges. Nurses manage complex medical needs such as wound care, oxygen therapy, specialized diets, and diabetes treatments—whether oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Younger residents with early-onset conditions are also accepted, and all personal care—bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting—can be provided with full assistance. When mobility is limited, a two-person transfer protocol ensures safe repositioning and movement.
Around-the-clock clinical oversight is provided by RNs and LPNs who remain on site 24/7. Background-checked staff members stay awake throughout the night, doors are alarmed, and the rear grounds are fully fenced to prevent unintended exits. An activity director coordinates daily cognitive and recreational programs that align with each resident’s care plan, and on-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments. Continuous security, steady supervision, and specialized staffing create a structured environment that supports both medical stability and personal dignity.
Resident rooms are intended to feel familiar while still supporting safety. Options include furnished suites with private bathrooms, independent temperature controls, and cable connections, and families may personalize spaces further by repainting or adding décor. Because layouts vary, not every accommodation offers all these features, so it is important to confirm specific room details during a visit.
Meals are served on a set menu designed to accommodate physician-ordered diet modifications, including low-sugar, low-sodium, renal, and textured diets. The culinary team coordinates closely with nursing staff to align carbohydrate counts for insulin management and to honor other medical nutrition directives. Snacks are available between meals so residents who are up at night or who graze throughout the day have access to additional nourishment.
Common-area offerings include wheelchair-accessible paths, a barber and beauty salon, movie room, wellness center, communal gardens, and scheduled on-site religious services. Family nights encourage loved ones to stay involved, while campus-wide internet access helps residents connect virtually when in-person visits aren’t possible. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
