Namaste Alzheimer Center is a senior living community that focuses on memory care for people with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, and the building is gated with outdoor walking paths so residents can go outside safely if they want, but the community has a single building split into four sections that group residents by how much care they need, and the rooms are big, semi-private, and already furnished with private bathrooms, a free telephone, air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and kitchenettes so folks move in with most things set up for them. The staff at Namaste include nurses and caregivers trained to help with dementia, so they give care like helping people take medication, helping them bathe, dress, move around, or anything else they need for daily living, and nurses or doctors can adjust medications if there's a change in someone's condition. There are 12 to 16 hours with nursing staff around every day, and a 24-hour call system, so if anyone needs support or has an emergency, someone's close by all the time, and caregivers watch over residents day and night to keep everyone safe, even if someone falls or is recovering from a broken bone and can't go to the hospital right away.
Services cover everything from regular meals, restaurant-style dining, and snacks cooked by a professional chef who works with special diets like diabetes or allergies, to activities like games, fitness and walking outdoors, arts and crafts, movies, music, and planned activities matched to residents' abilities. There are outdoor common areas, a library, spa, wellness room, game and activity rooms, a theater, exercise spaces, and a garden. Residents have laundry, housekeeping, and help moving in, and the community provides transportation and parking so people can go to appointments and outings, and families can visit with ease. Namaste tries to keep everyone's family in the loop, sharing updates about each resident's health and how they're doing, and lets families schedule tours or ask questions online, by email or by phone, to help choose the best fit. They take people who are 55 or older and can also support those with physical disabilities or folks who are deaf or hard of hearing, and they offer both assisted living and skilled nursing care, as well as unskilled help with daily life, so most needs are covered as people's memory issues change over time. There are extra paid options, like visits with doctors, speech therapy, dental, eye, or foot care, and the Namaste Adult Day Program helps residents stay as independent as possible with activities designed to boost social and medical wellbeing. The facility is managed by Centura Health and is certified by Medicaid, with a focus on providing a safe, structured, and friendly space for people living with Alzheimer's disease.
