Request Information

arveda alzheimers careThe Arveda Alzheimer's communities have been specifically designed to meet the needs of the residents, from the layout of the home, to the design of the bedrooms, to the selection of the decor. Our communities are Alzheimer's Certified and considered a 'social model' of care instead of a 'medical model' of care.

Arveda Alzheimer's communities are also ADA compliant, barrier free, and completely covered with a monitored sprinkler system and 24-hour fire system. Additionally, we offer security safety cameras that are located in residence public areas and our backyard patio and garden areas.arveda alzheimer's care

Arveda is proud to announce that our facilities are the first in Austin to implement the award-winning Vigil Dementia System.

The Vigil Dementia System was designed by caregivers specifically to aid in the care of residents with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Residents with dementia are prone to memory loss, making it difficult for them to utilize a traditional nurse call system. The resident will often forget entirely what the call button is for and therefore cannot call for help.

The Vigil Dementia System, a sophisticated computer software system, detects by non-invasive sensors a bed exit, incontinence sensor, and motion sensor. The Vigil System transmits this information to the computer, which generates an audible alert that the resident needs assistance when they are unable to do so. This enables the staff to provide care when and where it is needed, while minimizing unnecessary interventions.

The result is an increase in residents’ privacy while maintaining their safety.

By reviewing the data that the Vigil Dementia System gathers and stores in the resident’s chart, the staff can anticipate when to get the resident up for a bathroom visit, which minimizes incontinent episodes and sometimes will help the resident gain more control over their incontinence.arveda alzheimers care

The resident’s doctor can review the data, noting when the patient is restless or attempting to get out of bed. If the resident is on sleep medication, the doctor may note the poor sleep pattern and adjust the medication accordingly.

This sensor also alerts the caregiver to check on the resident, making sure they get back in bed safely, greatly reducing the risk of falls and other injuries.

 

Our facility staff receive intensive training on Alzheimer's disease and the way it affects the residents' language ability, vision, behavior, and ability to take care of themselves. Our specialized staff members are selected not only for their technical skills and knowledge of how to provide personal care, but also for their ability to communicate well.

Arveda strives to have the best care possible for people who have Alzheimer's or related dementia's and to be a leader in the community. Residents will enjoy furnished private rooms in a secured home environment, with service plans designed using input from the residents and their families. arveda alzheimers assisted living

FAMILIES WELCOMED!Arveda Alzheimer's communities

The families of the residents are welcomed and strongly encouraged to take an active role in the development of the service plan.  We fully understand that the families know their loved ones the best. Our staff will coach, guide, and use demonstration with the residents to help them remain as active and independent as possible for as long as possible.

We welcome feedback from our families, as well as, our residents.  You have our commitment to follow up with you regarding any of your requests or needs.

STEPS TO BECOMING A RESIDENT

The first step to becoming a resident of an Arveda community is to visit and meet the staff.  We ask that you schedule an appointment for a tour.  This will ensure that the staff is available as long as you need them, to answer questions you may have about the services provided to you and your loved one. 

Also, our communities are very small and the residents who reside there find it difficult if too many new “faces” are introduced into their home throughout the day.  However, appointments to tour the general assisted living communities are not required, only encouraged.

ABOUT ARVEDA

The management and design team have many years of experience providing the specialized care that Alzheimer's residents require. That being said, the quality of care is dependent upon the facility staff and their ability to care for the special needs of the residents, especially from a psychological standpoint.Arveda Alzheimer's communities

Arveda Alzheimer’s Assisted Living Residences are managed and operated by Tree of Life Care Group.  Although Arveda communities are new, the management staff has a combined total of over 30 years of experience in the healthcare industry providing personal care to senior citizens, with many of those solely focused on Alzheimer’s care.

The Arveda Alzheimer’s communities are also designed with some of the newest technology available in the marketplace to meet specific needs of people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or related dementia such as vascular dementia, Lewy Body dementia, Pick’s disease, or Parkinson’s related dementia.
