Parkway Assisted Living and Memory Care sits in a quiet residential neighborhood in Henderson, Nevada, with easy access to stores, medical clinics, hospitals, and public transportation, and you can tell right away they try to make their residents feel at home with a comfortable and warm setting. They focus on both assisted living and memory care so you see a variety of people living here, some needing just a little help each day with things like medications, bathing, or getting dressed, while others need more hands-on care because of dementia or Alzheimer's, and the staff includes nurses, LPNs, medication managers, and caregivers always present, even through the night, and there's a full-time activity director planning things to keep everyone active.
There are 60 studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, and 16 of them belong to the Expressions memory care program, which is set up for people with Alzheimer's or other kinds of memory loss, and this section is secured with bracelets that help staff prevent wandering so residents stay safe, and if anyone tries to leave, an alarm goes off, which can ease a family's mind. The facility really covers the bases with safety, so everything's wheelchair accessible, including showers, there's emergency help, and they can handle transfers for residents who need lifts or more than one person to help move. The staff can also manage care for residents with diabetes, those who use insulin, and folks who face behavior issues, and even people with bowel or bladder incontinence get reminders and support.
Parkway offers many activities, both inside and out, including trips, cooking classes, devotional services, trivia, and brain fitness, and you see a lot of life in their common areas, which include a private dining room, large living areas, and outdoor spaces for gatherings or just enjoying some air, and then there's a beauty salon where residents can get their hair done. The meals adapt to special diets, so if someone needs low or no sodium, or low/no sugar, that's easy to request. They're also pet-friendly, allowing cats and dogs, with special programs for residents' pets, and there's plenty of parking and free Wi-Fi for those who use it, with both assisted living and memory care residents getting access to all amenities.
The Expressions program stands out for its national recognition in dementia care, and it's built to reduce confusion and keep residents from feeling lost, including support for behaviors that can sometimes be seen as difficult. Residents who are largely independent can age in place, getting more help as they need it, and the community can also provide hospice and respite stays if needed. There's a visiting podiatrist, dentist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, and speech therapist so residents don't have to leave for basic care, and you can see how people stay engaged with all the resources and social support provided, especially with the help of the full care team and the social activities.
Parkway Assisted Living and Memory Care doesn't feel fancy or showy, but it's designed for comfort, safety, and individualized care for seniors 55 and older, whether male or female, and the staff tries to meet people where they are, letting them stay as independent as possible, and helping when needed, whether that's with health, memory loss, or just daily living.
