Resident/Family Member Reviews

“Can’t say enough about how wonderful Madonna Gardens is. The care and attention my mother received from everybody was above and beyond. From the food service people, house keeping, med techs and all the people who work to make sure everything is running smoothly and feels like home for the residents. They were all blessings that I can’t say enough of. Also it was a great relief and comfort for me knowing that my mom was safe and being taken care of.”

Assisted Living Accommodations

Assisted Living FAQ

Senior Living encapsulates all the living options for seniors who choose to leave their residential homes. Senior Living can be more convenient and can provide greater community. Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care are all forms of Senior Living.

Both Independent Living and Assisted Living communities offer amenities in a communal setting, such as dining rooms, gardens, libraries, and fitness centers. They also offer hospitality services, such as building maintenance, housekeeping, laundry, and daily meals. The most significant difference is that Independent Living residents require no additional care. Assisted Living residents have access to 24/7 caregivers for everyday support, such as bathing or medication management.

Assisted Living (AL) communities help older adults with daily tasks while encouraging independence. Support is moderate and includes help with daily activities, medication, and basic health needs. AL staff are trained in general elder care and assisting with daily living. AL communities are comfortable, home-like settings with private apartments and social spaces, where schedules are flexible and guided by residents’ preferences. Social, recreational, and educational programs are encouraged for engagement and learning. Staff is available 24/7 and emergency systems are in place. AL is for seniors who need some help with daily tasks but can make independent choices.

Memory Care (MC) communities provide specialized care for people with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or memory challenges. These communities provide all the services of Assisted Living plus 24/7 supervision and care for cognitive issues. MC staff receive specialized training in dementia and Alzheimer’s care. The community is a secure and structured environment with simple layouts and safety features. MC programs are designed to provide a consistent and structured routine to reduce confusion and provide reassurance. Activities are designed for memory support and sensory stimulation. Unlike AL communities, MC communities have secured areas, alarms, and close monitoring to prevent wandering. MC is for seniors with cognitive decline who require specialized supervision and care.

We can help there! Before joining our community, every resident goes through a two-part formal assessment with the resident’s doctor and the care director at our community. The resident’s doctor will fill out a Physician’s Report for RCFE (Residential Care Facility for the Elderly) Admission. This report provides an overview of the resident’s physical and medical health including any medications, specialized diets, and ambulatory status. The community care director will evaluate the resident’s health status and assess their ability to perform activities of daily living. This combination provides a baseline for individualized care plans.
