Tamarisk Senior Living sits in a peaceful setting with gardens, courtyards, covered porches, and walking paths, and the place always feels warm and homelike, with a close-knit community where folks recognize one another and can connect with tradition or learn new things if they like. Residents here get to choose from many living options, including assisted living, memory care called Renaissance Memory Support, independent living, nursing care, short-term respite care, and an adult day center known as Celebrations, which gives seniors and families flexibility. The apartments go by names like Shalom Apartments and Shalom Affordable Housing, and these well-maintained homes are for people aged 62 and older, with bright, spacious floor plans, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, electric stoves, refrigerators, cable TV, telephones, and high-speed internet, plus the comfort of wall-to-wall carpeting, air conditioner sleeves, emergency call systems, and options for furnished rooms, so folks can bring their own treasured belongings if they wish. Residents only pay about 30% of their income for rent because the community gets funding through HUD's Section 202 program, and there's house-keeping, security cameras, elevators, move-in coordination, and laundry rooms to make things easier, as well as accessible floor plans and community spaces with the right features for people who have disabilities or need accommodations.
Care at Tamarisk covers many needs, like help with bathing, dressing, and transfers, or non-ambulatory care for those who need it, and everyone has an individualized plan to meet their unique health, safety, or support needs, managed every day by professionals from registered nurses to certified geriatric care staff and memory care specialists trained and certified by the National Alzheimer's Association, with medication management, daily health monitoring, and a 24-hour emergency call system always in place. Memory care residents live in secured areas designed to reduce confusion and prevent wandering, with sensory-enhanced settings that help foster independence and accomplishment, and support's always available from staff who understand Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Tamarisk also offers support with special diets, kosher food, farm-to-table meals by a gourmet executive chef, kosher senior cafés, Meals on Wheels, and even Passover support, while dining choices include restaurant-style service and menus for people with dietary restrictions.
Community spaces give people lots to do, with a library, movie theater, game room, fitness and wellness spaces, a spa, activity rooms, business center, community garden, and outdoor areas for programs or walking. Scheduled daily activities, house-keeping, life enrichment programs, fitness programs, music and arts programs, and community-sponsored events keep people active, and there are social, educational, cultural, and spiritual events for those who want to join in. Residents can use the community concierge to help set up appointments or arrange transportation for errands and doctor visits, and the staff help foster independence while always providing support. Tamarisk welcomes married couples in assisted living and tries to keep apartments comfortable and homey, with enough space for belongings and easy layouts. The whole place runs with a focus on safety, security, and a real sense of dignity, so folks feel supported as they age.
