The Reserve at First Colony is an assisted-living community that accepts residents who live with a wide range of health needs, including those who wander during the day or night, elopement risks, combative or other behavioral issues, oxygen use, special diets, diabetes management with either oral medications or insulin injections, and adults under 60 years old who meet clinical criteria. The team is experienced in supporting advanced dementia and related memory disorders, offering consistent oversight for residents who may be up all night or need routine redirection.

Care delivery is reinforced by licensed nurses on site and a nurse on call 24 hours a day, supported by background-checked, awake night staff. Emergency cords and personal response pendants connect residents directly to caregivers, while alarmed doors and a fenced rear area help prevent unsafe exits. Primary care physicians round in the building, supplemented by podiatry and geriatric psychiatry from Dr. Mbola for residents with psychiatric conditions. Assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting is available at the full-help level, and staff can handle transfers ranging from standby to two-person assistance for those using walkers or wheelchairs.

Apartments offer layouts that may include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent climate controls, cable access, and the option to paint or decorate, though not every unit contains every feature. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided so residents can focus on daily routines instead of chores.

Meals are served through both set menus and on-order selections, with snacks available throughout the day and a private dining room for family gatherings. The culinary team manages special diet requirements such as mechanical chop, purée, and thickened liquids, ensuring that nutritional needs ordered by physicians or dietitians are consistently met.

Community amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, and full wheelchair accessibility, along with a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, wellness center, internet access, and communal gardens. On-site religious services, concierge support, back-up power, and scheduled transportation round out the service mix. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
