Palms Edge Assisted Living & Memory Care sits in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, and has a 65-bed capacity for both assisted living and memory care residents, so what you get here is a place where people get help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine, but they don't lose their independence or dignity since the staff is kind, respectful, and actually trained in caring for people with dementia, Alzheimer's, and other memory problems. The setup features a clear, easy-to-navigate building layout and a memory care section in a separate, secure building-doors have keypad entries, security cameras watch the courtyards and porches, and wander prevention technology keeps people safe, which helps reduce confusion and anxiety for those who might get disoriented or try to leave the property. There are private or semi-private rooms, including studio options, with spaces that have private bathrooms, wheelchair-accessible showers, and emergency call systems in each unit, so if anyone needs help, staff is close by all day and all night.
The community has a strong routine, planning group and personal activities tailored for residents' individual needs, so you'll see things like fitness classes, movie nights, music, games, art, religious devotions, outings, and programs meant to keep minds sharp, which becomes extra important for memory care folks since the activities aim to lessen anxiety and confusion. Meals get prepared on site three times a day, snacks are always around, and there are kosher meals for those who want them, plus an on-site beautician and barber shop, housekeeping, laundry, linen changes, wireless internet, TV, and lounge and game rooms to keep things comfortable. You'll notice a friendly feel among both staff and residents, and families have left good reviews saying the staff is helpful, caring, and cheerful most days. Nurses, therapists, and other healthcare professionals visit for medical care, and there's a nurse on staff along with a doctor on call, so medical help isn't far away.
Residents who need help moving around or using walkers, need diabetic care with insulin shots, or have behavioral challenges can get special support. Experienced staff can use one-person or two-person lifts, manage incontinence, and handle medication set-up and reminders. Transportation to doctor visits within 20 miles is free, but there's a charge if people need to go farther, and property parking is available for residents with their own cars. The facility sits near bus lines, pharmacies, parks, and coffee shops, making visits and outings simple. It also offers hospice and aging-in-place, so seniors don't have to move if their needs change. Pricing for rooms varies; a studio averages about $4,950, and a semi-private is about $3,650, but those numbers can change. All in all, Palms Edge is a secure community that values safety, independence, and a home-like feeling while meeting a wide range of care needs as people age.
