Atrium Gardens ALF is a family-owned, stand-alone memory care community in the Lake Magdalene area, and they focus on caring for people with Alzheimer's, dementia, and mild memory loss. The building is secure and made for memory care, with its own section to help residents who wander or have difficult behaviors, and staff keeps an eye on things at all times, with nurses on site 24 hours a day, a doctor on call, and an emergency call system in every room. They help residents with things like bathing, dressing, getting out of bed, taking medicine, and using lifts if needed, and they can manage things like giving insulin or shots, and wound care, which makes it easier for folks to age in place if their care needs change.
Rooms come either private or shared, and each has its own bathroom; every apartment has cable, internet, phone, central air, and window treatments, with choices between carpet or vinyl floors, plus options for private or furnished units that people can decorate with their own things. The big windows bring in light, and everything's set up for comfort and accessibility, from wide hallways to rooms arranged so it's easy to move around, and there's always someone nearby if help's needed. For meals, they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a restaurant-style dining room, with a chef in charge and snacks available all day, plus guest meals and a private dining room for when family visits.
The property itself has lush landscaping and palm trees, with a covered entryway marked by white columns and blue flooring, and there are outdoor gardens, safe walking paths, and bright gathering spaces for entertainment or quiet time. Care plans are made for each person, and every day's got scheduled activities, whether it's reading in the library, watching shows in the TV room, baking and art classes with The Village Program, participating in fitness, yoga, gardening clubs, or going out for social events and organized trips. Residents can take part in devotional and worship services both on and off site, enjoy beauty and barber services, or spend time with pets through pet-based programs.
Staff at Atrium Gardens includes caregivers, nurses, a wellness director, physical therapists, and hospice support, all working as a team, and they make sure service stays personal, from daily housekeeping and fresh linens to maintenance, including all utilities in the monthly fee. The place welcomes folks short-term or long-term, offers respite care for families who need a break, and takes part in the Florida dementia waiver program, showing they follow state guidelines with license number 8803. People can stay here longer as their needs increase, and the whole place's built around honoring each resident's dignity and unique history, all with a focus on making each day safe, pleasant, and as engaging as it can be.
