The Auberge at Plano sits in Plano, Texas, near places like Arbor Hills Nature Preserve, Oak Point Park, and Historic Downtown Plano, so there are plenty of chances for outings and fresh air when weather and health allow. This is a memory care and assisted living community designed for seniors who need help with daily living or have dementia or Alzheimer's, and the building has two stories with private apartments in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, each with the choice of a private or shared bathroom, so there are options depending on different needs and budgets. The community has a Main Street area inside, which looks a bit like a real town, where you'll find things like a theatre, art studio, salon, billiard room, and a sweet shop, all intended so residents can feel some freedom in a safe, comfortable environment.
Staff are on site 24 hours a day, and people get regular health checks and help with things like bathing, dressing, grooming, medication, and other daily care tasks, including support for walking, eating, and toileting, and there are also pharmacy services, medication management, and visiting medical professionals-like doctors, nurse practitioners, dentists, podiatrists, lab services, counseling, home health, hospice, and a registered dietitian who helps make sure everyone's nutritional needs are met, so families know their loved one's well-being is a priority here. In-house therapy services cover physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and there's also incontinence support and Friendship Suites for dementia care.
The Spark™ Program uses Montessori-inspired activities and assessments to help residents stay engaged, included, and as independent as possible, which you don't see everywhere, and the staff regularly update and plan care based on each resident's needs so the support is always current. There's a big family dining area for shared meals, with chef-prepared food, and housekeeping, laundry, and linen services are handled for everyone. The Main Street set-up gives people places to mingle, whether they're grabbing a snack, doing an art project, or enjoying movies.
This place is pet-friendly, offers plenty of social activities, religious services, wellness classes, and planned outings, plus scheduled transportation for shopping or doctor visits so people aren't missing out on what makes them happy or healthy, and the staff encourage activity and participation every day. There are virtual and gallery tours for those interested, and some short-term respite stays are also an option if someone just needs care for a little while. While it's a larger community, there's still plenty of attention given to meeting each person's physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs. This facility serves people from Plano, McKinney, Richardson, Allen, Garland, Denton, Dallas, and other nearby places, and they do make a point of building real relationships with residents, so people feel respected and looked after.
