Open since September 2015 and managed by Elysian Senior Homes, LLC, the community is built for aging in place, which means residents can stay in their apartments as their needs change over time. There's a wide range of services, like assisted living for those who need daily help, independent living for more active folks, and memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, with dementia care provided in secure studio apartments that offer extra safety and simplicity, and there's help with daily routines and special therapies aimed at reducing confusion and offering comfort. The staff includes a dementia care manager, assisted living clinical coordinator, nurses, and other helpers who are on hand to assist with medication, meals, bathing, dressing, or whatever may be needed, and help is available from Monday to Friday, 8:30 to 5:00. Residents get personal care, medication management, incontinence and diabetic care, non-ambulatory care, as well as general transportation for appointments and outings, and housekeeping and laundry keep things tidy. The kitchen staff prepares nutritious meals overseen by meal planners and chefs, and the dining room is bright and welcoming, with both shared and private dining spaces available.
