Ivy Terrace Fullerton Memory Care sits on two acres in Fullerton, CA, with rose gardens, wide paths, and sunny patios that wrap around a building specially built for people with Alzheimer's disease or other memory problems, so you'll find a home-like, easy-to-navigate environment with doors and paths that keep folks safe, and gardens where cats, dogs, and people walk together. The Evergreen at Ivy memory care program gives care to adults with memory loss, and the staff, trained in memory care and safety, help with grooming, dressing, medication, healthy reminders, and diabetes support, day and night, and they can also help people with physical needs. Ivy Terrace has a secured wing and technology like wander-alert bracelets for residents who might walk off, and the nurses on site, along with a medical director who's a nurse practitioner, keep an eye on everybody's health. Trained teams work round-the-clock, offering help for things like incontinence that folks manage themselves, standby transfers, and care for people with tough or confusing behaviors, and they accept residents with major behavior issues or who have physically aggressive actions, too. There are private studios and semi-private rooms, with prices published up front, and people can bring small pets, with staff around to help if needed.
Meals come any time of day, including vegetarian and low salt options, and residents can eat in restaurants, get room service, or use a private dining room for family-there's always snacks, too. The grounds have winding secured gardens, walking paths, outdoor dining areas, and inside you'll find game rooms, a library, and technology like a call system so residents can always reach help. The full-time activity director plans things like music, gardening, karaoke, Tai Chi, cooking, art, cultural events, trips out, and plenty of clubs so folks stay busy and minds stay active. Therapy services cover physical and occupational needs, and visiting specialists include podiatrists, dentists, therapists, and nurses. The community follows state safety rules-there's a gated entrance, controlled access, no smoking in or out, and regular checks for falls or safety worries.
