AltaVita Memory Centre is a memory care community especially for older adults with Alzheimer's and dementia. The place has suites designed for memory support, offering both shared and private rooms, each with private baths, kitchenettes, furnishings, cable TV, phones, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning, so folks can feel comfortable and settled. Safety's a big focus here, and the community uses secure features and a 24-hour call system to make sure residents are safe while still feeling independent. Four garden patios and a big central courtyard let people spend time outdoors, and there are walking paths, a bocce ball court, gardens, and a waterfall area that add to the peaceful feel.
The staff, called memory care experts, know how to help people with memory problems and dementia, offering round-the-clock supervision and nursing care between 12 to 16 hours per day, with caregivers ready to help with bathing, dressing, transfers, meal assistance, and medication management. Respite care and an adult day program give families flexibility, whether for short stays or temporary needs when a caregiver needs a break. The Centre supports behavioral health recovery and gives personalized care plans, which can change as needs shift over time.
AltaVita has a homey, family atmosphere, with cleaning, laundry, and maintenance taken care of, so residents and their loved ones don't have to worry about chores. There's a bistro, dining room, and ice cream parlor at the heart of the community, restaurant-style meals made by a professional chef, all-day dining options, and special diets for allergies or diabetes. People can get their hair and nails done at the on-site salon, and there's podiatry care, massage therapy, and other health support if needed.
Daily life is kept active and engaging with activity rooms, a movie theater, game room, fitness center made especially for seniors, a library, music and arts programs, and plenty of scheduled activities, including life-enriching programs that highlight everyone's strengths and memories, seven days a week. Residents like using the memory boxes outside their suites, filled with photos and keepsakes, which help remind them of their lives. AltaVita makes sure people feel comfortable, safe, and treated with respect, offering choices between independent living in 83 apartments with nine floor plans, assisted living in a dedicated building, and memory care in the main Centre, all with transportation, parking, concierge help, and easy access to community events and resources. The atmosphere is clean and welcoming, with special attention to both security and freedom, and everything's been set up by folks who know what people with memory challenges need.
