Autumn Leaves of Cityview sits at 7100 Dutch Branch Road in Fort Worth, less than a mile from Harris Methodist Southwest Hospital, and is part of a group of nine Dallas/Fort Worth communities under J&M Family Management®. The community handles assisted living and has a big focus on specialized memory care for people with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, with staff and even the folks in the main office trained in dementia care. There are always staff in the building, including a nurse on duty, and care plans get made for each resident with specific attention given to personal history and needs, which they call biography-based life engagement programming. Residents live in private or semi-private apartments, with options for small kitchenettes, and the rooms have wired cable and in-unit safety features like pull cords and pendants, along with safety-equipped bathrooms and wide hallways with railings and natural light, all in a secured building and courtyard, with technology like alarm bracelets for those at risk for wandering. Pets like dogs and cats are allowed in designated floor plans.
Meals are homemade and can be adjusted to fit special diets-gluten-free, low-sodium, low-sugar, vegan, or others-and the dining program throws in celebration for birthdays, holidays, and special occasions, plus personalized meal services recognizing individual preferences. Residents eat together in community dining areas, with some spaces for private dining, and outdoor patios and secure gardens give places to go outside. Weekly housekeeping, linen services, in-house laundry and dry cleaning, and salon services are all part of care, along with medication management and even an onsite pharmacy. Residents can get haircuts at the onsite barber shop, see visiting specialists like podiatrists or therapists, and use the rehab services on offer while also having help with bathing, dressing, insulin injections, and blood sugar checks.
The community has activities such as game nights, story time, stretching and exercise classes like Tai Chi and yoga, art and cooking classes, brain fitness, educational lectures, gardening clubs, music groups, wine tastings, pet programs, trips, karaoke, and opportunities to meet folks from other generations. There are big TVs in common areas, a recreation room, and secured outdoor spaces. The Inspired Connections™ program is designed to give daily choices and moments of purpose, especially for those with memory issues. Residents can join free support groups about dementia, and communication keeps families up to date. Parking's set up for guests visiting, and offsite events happen too. Community helpers can provide VA benefits guidance and financial advice. The management team, being family-owned and family-run, designs, builds, and upkeep their buildings.
The community accepts people with risky wandering, behavior issues, or physical aggression, and the secured layout plus specialized behavioral care program aims to serve those with complex dementia symptoms. Residents can stay and keep more help as they age thanks to various service levels-assisted transfers, nurse and doctor care, hospice, and respite care if needed. There are active clubs and events, like gardening groups, a resident music group, and special activities built around what each person likes and remembers. Autumn Leaves of Cityview holds awards in dementia care and keeps its focus on elder care, memory care, and quality staff training throughout.
