Garden Terrace Assisted Living sits at 1100 South Chaparral Circle in Sierra Vista, Arizona, where up to ten residents live in a small, family-owned home that feels calm and safe and has a pace most seniors appreciate, especially for those needing memory care or Alzheimer's support. The whole place is set up with safety and comfort in mind, including a secure memory care wing using things like bracelets with alarms and a wandering alert system, so folks don't wander off and get lost. Residents with all kinds of needs, from light support with daily living up to advanced dementia with incontinence or behavioral issues, can stay under one roof, since the home is licensed at all three levels of care and offers services from assisted living to memory care and even hospice and respite. The staff, who remain awake around the clock, take care of bathing, dressing, medication, blood sugar monitoring, meal help, and can do two-person transfers or use lifts, plus help with toileting and showering in easy-access bathrooms and full tubs, always keeping care steady-regardless of financial changes-since the place is ALTCS-contracted and doesn't raise care levels on residents.
Meals come homemade three times a day, served with snacks, and special diets like diabetic, kosher, vegetarian, gluten-free, or for high blood pressure are all welcome since the team knows folks need food to suit their health, and residents seem to enjoy the variety. Activities fill the calendar thanks to a full-time director, with daily exercise, bingo, movies, music, visits from kids and animals, art, crafts, board games, and regular church or spiritual gatherings-people can find something to do or just relax outside or in the common areas like the book room, yard, or recreation spaces. Evening events, community gatherings, and family outreach keep relationships strong, and there's even a beauty salon and a health room with a hot tub and sauna for comfort. Transportation is always arranged for medical visits, shopping, and religious services, and nurses, a doctor, podiatrists, therapists, and even a dentist can all see residents as needed, making it easier for everyone to age in the same familiar spot.
Garden Terrace helps with memory problems, offering a secure environment designed to limit confusion, and has specialized activities for Alzheimer's and dementia; even folks with aggression or wandering risk, or those who need a lot of behavioral support, can be safely cared for here, since staff know how to support many different conditions. The home allows small dogs and offers some pet care, and there are laundry, dry cleaning, and room cleaning services, with private rooms coming equipped with cable TV and Wi-Fi. Family involvement matters, so there's always encouragement for visits or participation, and people describe the place as friendly, helpful, and kind, with strong marks for meals and satisfaction, based on reviews. With guest services, on-site devotional activities, wheelchair access, and parking for residents, Garden Terrace looks after people at all stages of aging, always aiming for that feeling of being safe and at home.
