Questions about Azalea Gardens

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Azalea Gardens staff members have dementia-specific training?

At Azalea Gardens, we take pride in giving our memory care team the training and professional development needed to care for residents and help them lead independent, enriched lives. Both classroom and hands-on training are required upon hire and on an ongoing basis. This training refreshes basic concepts and best practices at least annually. It also incorporates new research and innovations to support current care practices. To learn more about the training requirements for team members at our Tallahassee memory care community, contact us today.

Do residents at Azalea Gardens each have an individual care plan?

Yes. Every memory care resident who joins our Tallahassee community brings something new. Needs are driven by physical, mental, and emotional health; religious preference; medical history; personal history; family status; cultural identity; and more. For these reasons, our experienced memory care planning team works directly with the resident and their family to build a custom care plan focused on goal achievement. Common goals include blood pressure management, life enrichment, socialization, comfort, and maintaining independence. Changes in the care plan require family involvement, so you’ll always know what to expect and have a voice in the decisions concerning your loved one’s memory care plan.

Do you prescribe Alzheimer’s medications?

Our staff does not prescribe any medications to our residents. However, our trained and licensed staff (nurses and caregivers) supervise the medications that the residents’ physicians prescribe.

Does Azalea Gardens Assist with Activities for Daily Living (ADLs) as part of their memory care program?

Our staff provides assistance with a myriad of activities of daily living to ensure your loved one can remain active within our memory care facility for as long as possible. Services include:

• Three meals (and snacks) every day, catered to your loved one’s preferences, calorie requirements, and diet restrictions
• Assistance getting up or transferring onto or off the toilet, chair, bed, etc.
• Medication administration and monitoring
• Help with household chores and total laundry service
• Assistance with bathing, dressing, toilet, personal hygiene, and minor incontinence

Azalea Gardens also offers a variety of on-site services and amenities to make it easier for your loved one to access the care they need.

What advantages does a memory care facility like Azalea Gardens offer versus in-home care?

Both memory care and in-home care can be highly effective solutions for the safety risks that accompany cognitive decline. Those who choose a memory care facility realize the following benefits compared to those who choose in-home care:

  • Memory care facilities must meet stringent guidelines in all aspects of care including nutrition, safety, management of medical conditions, cleanliness, staffing levels, and are surveyed frequently.
  • Memory care communities are designed with resident safety in mind, which means slip-resistant flooring, handrails, larger bathrooms and bedrooms, and the removal of safety risks (like stoves).
  • Memory care communities are secure so your loved one is protected from the risks associated with memory-related disorientation or unsafe behaviors.
  • While Meals On Wheels can provide one meal per day for in-home residents who qualify, memory care residents receive three well-rounded meals and snacks every day.
