Brookdale San Marcos North-Clarebridge offers a dedicated Memory Care program designed for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, including advanced stages. The team is prepared to manage wandering behaviors at any time of day, elopement risks, behavioral fluctuations, and residents who stay up through the night. Clinical support also extends to oxygen management, specialized diets, diabetic care for residents on oral medications, and individuals under 60 who require cognitive support.
Day-to-day oversight is strengthened by an RN or LPN on site and a nurse on call around the clock. Caregivers are awake throughout the night, and all staff undergo background checks. Resident safety is reinforced with 24-hour security, fenced outdoor areas, door alarms, and in-room pull cords that alert staff. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and the community can accommodate walkers, wheelchairs, standby assistance, one-person, and two-person transfers. On-site podiatry is provided, and the community accepts residents with co-existing psychiatric diagnoses.
Accommodation options include suites that may feature a private bathroom, a basic kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and permission to paint or decorate the space. Not every unit contains every feature, so it is advisable to confirm specific details during a visit.
Meals are prepared to order, and the culinary team can adjust textures, portion sizes, and ingredients to meet physician-prescribed or resident-requested diet modifications. Staff remain available in the dining room for individuals who require full assistance with eating.
Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, internet service, communal gardens, and scheduled transportation for appointments or errands. Smoking is permitted in designated outdoor areas, and pets are welcome. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. On-site religious services are offered to accommodate spiritual preferences.
