The Monarch at Richardson is a senior living community that offers assisted living and memory care on one campus, with a focus on helping residents live as independently as possible. The facility supports adults living with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia and provides specialized Valeo™ memory care programming that aims to honor each person's dignity while keeping them active and engaged, so there's always something going on like games, exercise, reading, or pet therapy, and the memory care area can support up to 28 residents living with Alzheimer's. The staff here is recognized in the top 8% among similar facilities and several people have over 15 years of experience, so residents often know the faces that greet them each day.
Apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, with options for private or shared bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, and internet, all designed so there's enough space to feel comfortable whether someone wants company or privacy, and wheelchairs can get into every shower. Residents have restaurant-style meals that chefs prepare to suit many tastes, and seating encourages neighbors to chat and make friends while eating. There's a focus on wellness, and their Salus™ program works on the physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual parts of health, offering things like worship, meditation, and support groups, along with fitness activities, educational classes, and outings to parks or local events.
The Monarch welcomes pets and has pet therapy activities too, so animal companions aren't left out. For support, staff help with daily tasks, medication, laundry, housekeeping, and transportation, whether it's errands, medical visits, or social outings around Richardson, and there's a safety call system in every living area. The surroundings include courtyards, a gardener's workshop, lounges, and a game room, plus a theater, art studio, and library thanks to new renovations, and beautician services are right on site. Staff organize a busy activity calendar and provide engaging programs aimed at personal interests, helping residents stay active both in mind and body while encouraging involvement with the local community. Valeo™ memory care and the wellness-centered Salus™ philosophy shape everything from care planning to activities, so there's always attention to personal needs and resident safety, and family and friends are encouraged to be involved as much as possible. The licensed capacity is 114 people, so many can live here while still feeling known and cared for. Respite stays and hospice care are also available, and the on-site team can handle skilled health needs when required, so people can access help as they need it while continuing to enjoy what the community offers.
