Arden Courts - ProMedica Memory Care Community in Livonia offers a place focused only on memory care for seniors with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, and people come here when they need extra support for memory issues because the building is purpose-built with secure features like alarm bracelets that go off if someone tries to leave, wide hallways, and wheelchair accessible bathrooms with both showers and tubs, so folks don't get lost or confused, and the staff here, all trained in dementia care, keep a close watch with a one-to-seven staff-to-resident ratio and are on duty around the clock with a nurse on staff and a doctor available on call. Residents have furnished studio rooms, and the place welcomes both cats and dogs, which is nice for people who want to keep their pets close, and the whole property is set up to prevent wandering and give peace of mind to families, with amenities like Wi-Fi, high-speed internet, and handicap accessibility for those who need it.
They offer three meals each day served restaurant-style or in private rooms, and people with dietary needs can get options like vegetarian, kosher, gluten-free, low sodium, or low sugar, and the kitchen gets good reviews for using quality ingredients and making sure the meals are healthy. There's always something for the residents to do, like stretching classes, Tai Chi, yoga, art and cooking classes, gardening clubs, Wii bowling, karaoke, and group trips, plus outings and activities like trivia or arts and crafts to help folks stay active and involved. The programming centers on memory, with a reminiscence program, outings in secured gardens, devotional services, a beautician, and special events to make sure people have a reason to smile and something to look forward to.
For care, staff help residents with bathing, dressing, transfers-including lifts and extra help for those who can't walk-and they support those with diabetes, incontinence, behavioral challenges, and some medical needs like medication management and blood sugar checks, and there's specialized support for folks with mild cognitive impairment and those who need light, medium, or heavy care. On top of that, the community gets high marks from residents and families, earning a review score of 9.6, especially for the way staff treat people kindly, pay attention, and build a friendly environment with open communication. Arden Courts is licensed, part of ProMedica, and runs only as a memory care community, which means everything here-from activities to meals to safety and staffing-is built around the needs and comfort of people living with dementia or Alzheimer's disease, and the staff are steady and calm even if someone has difficult behaviors or needs more complex care as time goes on. Visitors can ask for a tour to see daily routines, living spaces, and join in some of the activities to get a real feel for the place, and the community keeps family involved as much as possible.
