Benchmark at Alexandria offers assisted living with a strong clinical backbone. Licensed staff are on-site around the clock to help residents who wander, display exit-seeking or other behavioral issues, or who stay awake through the night. Nurses manage complex medical needs such as wound care, oxygen therapy, and strict dietary regimens. The team supports adults younger than 60 as well as older residents and is experienced with every level of diabetic management, from oral medications to insulin injections and sliding-scale dosing. Care plans are individualized, reviewed regularly, and adjusted whenever health status changes.
Beyond direct medical interventions, the community applies layered safety strategies that include secured areas for residents prone to elopement, routine wellness checks, and electronic monitoring to alert staff to unscheduled movement. Medication administration is supervised, and visiting physicians, therapists, and lab services are coordinated on-site to limit disruptive trips off campus. Staff receive ongoing training in dementia-related behaviors, diabetic care protocols, and specialized wound treatment techniques, helping residents remain in familiar surroundings even as needs increase.
Living quarters range from compact studios to larger apartment layouts, and not every unit has the same features. Some residences include a private bathroom, a kitchenette, and independent temperature controls, while others offer a simpler configuration. Residents may paint or decorate their rooms, and cable service, weekly housekeeping, and scheduled laundry are available. Maintenance is handled by the community to keep spaces safe and functional.
Meals are prepared to order, with snacks available throughout the day and the option for in-room dining when preferred or medically necessary. A private dining room can be reserved for family visits. The culinary staff collaborates with nursing to provide diet modifications such as mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid textures, and they manage physician-ordered restrictions for diabetes, cardiac conditions, and other health concerns.
