Georgetown Living

Georgetown Living - Assisted Living - Certified Alzheimer's Facility sits between city life and the quiet country, so folks enjoy nearby places and still get plenty of fresh air outside. The building's shaped and set up to help people with memory problems, especially Alzheimer's, so everyone's safe and comfortable. Staff knows a lot about Alzheimer's care and they keep a good eye on residents because the floor plan makes it easy to check in and help when someone needs it, which works well for folks who might wander or get confused in hallways somewhere else. Doors and hallways use solid construction for quiet, and private rooms come in both private and semi-private options with large lay-by closets, soft carpet, and big windows that look out at either the courtyard or open country. Bathrooms are big and easy to get in with wheelchairs, and there are emergency call buttons in the bathrooms and main rooms, plus motion sensors in case someone falls down.

Each day, there are activities aimed right at folks with Alzheimer's like daily cognitive exercises, old-fashioned literature, social and single games, meditation, and brain games that help memory. Residents can take part in Sit and Be Fit classes, outdoor walks, gardening in raised beds, gentle range of motion stretches, massage therapy, and even social dancing when they're feeling up to it. The staff includes trained caregivers with strong backgrounds in dementia and Alzheimer's work, and there's usually someone nearby to help since they keep a good staff to resident ratio. Georgetown Living uses a Montessori-based dementia approach with group programs, music events, regular pet therapy visits from dogs and even animals like longhorns, goats, sheep, and donkeys for petting and smiles. There's a big on-site salon with haircuts, coloring, and styling every Wednesday, and a beautician comes weekly. Residents celebrate birthdays, holidays, join family dinners and church groups, and spend time with children and teens from the area during regular inter-generational activities.

Outside, there are two separate garden spaces, with one garden offering an infinity walking path, places to grow vegetables and flowers, and a safe area for outdoor events and gathering. The other outdoor area features a fish pond, six different sorts of flowers, and a gazebo draped in climbing plants, which many folks find peaceful. Porch spaces with shelter invite residents to sit and socialize or just enjoy some quiet. Inside, cozy spots are scattered about for visiting or just resting for a while. The unique design keeps the whole place feeling like a real home, instead of an institution, and makes it easy for everyone to get around without feeling lost or shut away.

Georgetown Living is family-owned, led by folks like executive director Eric Corum, outreach manager Nicholas Leschke, and Dr. Char Hu, who's been involved in Alzheimer's work and local support groups for ages. Staff here takes care to provide skilled help with bathing, dressing, and moving about, as well as more involved nursing services, since the community has its own Medicare-Certified Home Health Agency offering therapies like physical, occupational, and speech-something you don't see in other nearby places. Activities focus on social connections and keeping the mind and body as active as possible, rather than leaving folks to their own devices. Anyone looking for a secure, caring place that's built to support people living with Alzheimer's disease, where safety, daily engagement, and staff training matter, might find Georgetown Living a straightforward and dependable choice.
