Mallard Ridge Assisted Living sits right in Clemmons, North Carolina, not far from shops, churches, and medical care, so folks can stay connected to the community while having easy access to what they need day by day. The community offers several kinds of care, including assisted living, memory care, nursing home services, and independent living, even covering homecare and respite stays when families need a break or help. People living there can choose private studio apartments or semi-private rooms, each with full, accessible bathrooms, cable TV, high-speed Wi-Fi, and emergency call systems wired in, which take a lot of the worry out of daily life, and all the basic utilities-like electricity, water, and cable-are included, so everyone has what they need without sorting through extra bills.
Mallard Ridge puts attention on comfort and wellness by making sure the rooms and common areas have nice touches like fireplaces, soft chairs, cozy lounges, and outdoor patios with rocking chairs, and there are gardens with raised beds for anyone who likes digging in the dirt or just sitting outside. Meals are cooked with good ingredients, and three restaurant-style meals plus snacks come every day, with menus planned by dietitians who take special care for people's individual health needs, and if someone likes to gather and eat together, the community dining room is set up for that, with guest parking available for visitors.
The facility has dedicated spaces and equipment for residents who need more help, and folks living with Alzheimer's or dementia get support through their Pathways to Discovery memory care program, staffed by caregivers who get special training and offer hands-on help. Trained staff-including Certified Nursing Assistants and Personal Care Staff-are there around the clock, and there's Registered Nurse oversight and an emergency response system in every apartment, which helps people feel safe. Mallard Ridge also takes care of daily needs with housekeeping, laundry services, and medication management, plus a pharmacy, so people don't need to leave the building for basics.
Anyone who needs help with things like dressing, bathing, or taking medicine can get it, and the service plans are personalized, with input from residents and their families. The social life at Mallard Ridge tends to be active, with a full-time activities director who organizes everything from game nights, card clubs, musical groups, story time, and outings to restaurants or local events, to wellness activities that keep folks moving and connected. Respite care, offsite activities, VA benefits help, financial advice, and religious services are on offer, along with free transportation to doctor or dental appointments. Some pets are welcome, which can brighten the place up a bit.
The whole campus is designed for older adults, with accessible hallways, courtyards for gathering, and walking paths.
