The Gardens Assisted Living at Fair Oaks offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with programs that accommodate residents living with early to advanced dementia. Medical oversight includes support for elopement risk, combative or other behavioral issues, wandering or wakefulness throughout the night, and complex clinical needs such as wound care, oxygen therapy, and specialized diets. Diabetic residents are managed whether they use oral medications, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen, and the community is licensed to accept adults under 60 who require an assisted setting.

Around-the-clock care is delivered by an on-site RN or LPN, complemented by an awake night staff and an activity director who adapts programs for cognitive and physical abilities. All employees undergo background checks. Resident safety is reinforced with fenced outdoor areas, door alarms, pull-cord call systems, and optional personal emergency response pendants that alert staff directly. Podiatry visits are scheduled on-site, and the community is open to residents who have psychiatric diagnoses. Assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting can be provided at the full-service level, and mobility needs are met whether a resident walks independently, uses a walker or wheelchair, needs standby help, one-person transfers, or is bed-bound.

Accommodations range from studios to larger suites; some include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, furniture, cable service, and the option for residents to paint or personalize their space. Because layouts vary, not every apartment comes with every feature, so it is best to confirm specifics during a tour.

Daily meals are offered through a set menu with the added flexibility of made-to-order options, and snacks are available at any time. The culinary team collaborates with nursing staff to provide texture modifications, low-sugar selections, and other physician-ordered diet plans. Residents in the community’s Independent Living apartments can opt into medication-management monitoring, ensuring prescriptions are taken correctly without forfeiting their independence.

Residents can take advantage of on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, movie room, wellness center, barber and beauty shop, internet access, and regularly scheduled religious services. Transportation is arranged for medical appointments and local errands. Outdoor smoking areas are designated, and pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
