Ponte Vedra Gardens

Ponte Vedra Gardens sits in a scenic community on the ocean near Jacksonville, Florida, and offers a loving and secure place for people with dementia or Alzheimer's disease, and the way they focus on the personal history of each resident through their Meaningful Moments® program really shows they care about more than just basic needs - they want folks to feel comfortable and valued, so each room can include favorite items and becomes unique for each person living there, and the whole place is kept warm and home-like with inviting common areas that encourage relaxation and visits. The staff works with Teepa Snow's Positive Approach to Care®, so they have the skills and awareness needed to help people facing changes from dementia, and since the Memory Care Center and the Alzheimer's Special Care Center are both dedicated to this purpose, the safety and comfort of each resident always stays a top concern, as they're watched over around the clock, which helps prevent wandering or confusion, and the families that visit get some peace of mind knowing their loved ones are supported by expert geriatric care. The building holds 64 beds, and there are different private or companion options to pick for living spaces, with spacious Executive Suites, Private Studios, and Companion Suites with Shared Baths, so each resident can find what feels right to them, and the activity program keeps everyone engaged, especially with arts and crafts and other events that brighten up daily life. There's also respite care to help out family caregivers, and while Medicaid's not accepted, the community sticks to its mission to enrich life for those with memory loss, making sure to meet physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental needs with a person-centered and loving approach. Tours are available for people who want to see for themselves the real day-to-day dining, activities, and warm setting that Ponte Vedra Gardens works hard to maintain.
