Beach House Assisted Living & Memory Care sits in a quiet residential neighborhood about a mile from the Atlantic Ocean in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, where the weather stays warm, the breeze comes in off the ocean, and it's easy for people to visit the nearby beaches. The community has both assisted living and a memory care program, including a dedicated building designed for residents living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. The memory care section keeps residents safe with technology like bracelets that send alerts if someone tries to leave, locked and alarmed doors, and special supervision for people who may wander or seek exits. Each resident can have either a private or semi-private room, all with private bathrooms, walk-in closets, and small kitchenettes, so they've got some privacy but help is always close by.
The staff stays on site every hour, every day, with nurses on duty and a doctor on call, so people always have support and supervision, and if someone has diabetes, incontinence, or needs medicine given to them, they'll get that help too. Residents get help with basic tasks like grooming, bathing, dressing, and moving around, whether they need just a little reminder or two staff members and mechanical lifts. There's a licensed clinical staff and care that matches each person's level of need, so whether the person needs light help or more complex support including behavioral care for folks with difficult or odd behaviors, they'll get a plan made just for them, even if they need help with transfers, or have problems like wandering or challenging behaviors.
Meals are served three times a day, cooked right there with options like restaurant-style dining, room service, or meals anytime of day, and people can get diets that are low in sugar, low in salt, or vegan. Activities fill up the days and the full-time activities director runs art classes, fitness for the mind, gardening, intergenerational programs, and regular trips out, plus there's a Ladies group, socials for veterans, weekly outings, and big monthly parties. Folks can relax or visit in the sunroom, screened porch, or courtyard, or use the library, art studio, living room, or movie theater with real recliners and a big screen, and there's internet, scheduled outings, and plenty of common areas inside and outside the memory care environment.
Other services like transportation to appointments and shopping are available, plus there's laundry, housekeeping, and even a beauty salon, and the building has elevators and wheelchair-accessible showers. Pet-friendly policies let people keep their dogs or cats, and staff can help with pet care. Physical and occupational therapists come in, and there's a full rehabilitation department if someone needs help with therapy, speech, or post-hospital recovery; Beach House also connects with nearby health providers like Lakeside Center for Rehabilitation and Healing. The place has scheduled devotional services, high-speed Wi-Fi, and both private and shared apartments in several floor plans, including studio, suite, or two-bedroom layouts.
The property itself is multi-story, with a covered entry, lush landscaping, walking paths, and a courtyard for fresh air, while safety remains a big concern-there are alarmed premises, emergency call systems, and supervision around the clock. Beach House Assisted Living & Memory Care aims to create a friendly, vibrant place for seniors who need support, focusing on personalized help that recognizes the needs of folks dealing with Alzheimer's, dementia, or just needing help with daily life, and the community has a reputation for kind and helpful staff, winning some awards for the quality of care, though no place has everything perfect. The atmosphere is relaxed, with plenty to do, and people say the staff seem joyful and make sure everyone feels welcome.
