Summerset Senior Living - Memory Care and Adaptive Care sits in North West Reno and provides care for adults aged 55 and older who need memory care, adaptive care, or respite care. The staff supports people with Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's, Huntington's, ALS, and other conditions. Residents can age in place because the care changes as people's needs change, and the facility uses personalized care plans for each resident. The Memory Care Team and the Adaptive Care Program provide support for those with mild to severe memory needs and for those with more complex conditions. Help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, medication reminders, and eating is available all day and night. There's always someone there to help, and residents can also get help with physical health through daily health checks, medication management, and fitness programs like low-impact exercise, yoga, and walking groups.
Memory care residents have safe and secure living spaces that help prevent wandering, including locked entrances and exits, with common areas and plenty of outdoor areas like gardens and walking paths. There's a dedicated focus on activities that help memory, like puzzles, memory games, music therapy, art classes, and reminiscence therapy. Residents can join group outings to places like parks, theaters, and historic sites, or stay in and attend events, workshops, and music groups. There are different room choices-private, semi-private, or studios-and residents can personalize their living space with their own things. The entire facility is built to be accessible with grab bars, wheelchair access, and features like Hoyer lifts for those who need them.
Community areas include a physical therapy room, a whirlpool spa room, an exercise gym, indoor and outdoor lounges, a sports bar and entertainment center, an ice cream parlor, theater, meditation rooms, an arts and crafts area, a library and computer center, and even a pet-friendly dog park. Scheduled housekeeping, linen services, laundry and dry cleaning, apartment and grounds maintenance, and free transportation to medical appointments are part of everyday life. There's an in-room emergency alert system and alert pendants for safety.
Meals come from chef-prepared menus with options for all diets, including special plans for diabetic, heart-healthy, and low-sodium needs. Residents can eat all day from 7 AM to 7 PM at the table-service dining room, fireside dining room, bistro, or nostalgic soda shop. The staff helps monitor fluid intake and provide snacks to keep everybody hydrated, and communal dining and meal assistance help people socialize and eat well. Family involvement is encouraged with regular updates, family support groups, educational events, and care planning meetings.
Summerset keeps people engaged with things like chair yoga, walking groups, memory activities, music, art, reading, and social events-all aimed at supporting independence and well-being. Staff receive memory care training, including The Virtual Dementia Tour, so they understand the challenges residents face. Care plans adapt to changing needs and focus on safety, dignity, and emotional support. The goal is to keep a steady routine, reduce stress, and maintain as much independence as possible for every resident.
