Apartment Features

Residents bring their own furniture and decorate the spacious apartment to reflect their own personal tastes and memories.  We believe that anyone who becomes part of our community is home, and we strive to make each residents as comfortable in their new surroundings as possible.

Throughout your apartment you’ll notice a design that makes residents lives easier...lever handle door hardware, wider halls and doorways, wall-to-wall carpeting, single handle faucets, electrical outlets placed high for easy reach, high lighting level, raised television and telephone jacks.  Now enter the bathroom and notice even more special touches...grab bars, walk-in showers higher height toilets.

Home-cooked Meals

Three home-cooked meals plus healthy snacks are served daily in our beautiful dining room.  The Director of Food Services prepares all of our meals fresh each day for our residents.  Special diets are also available, depending on individual needs.  Upon move in, we meet with family members and the residents to get a sense of what types of foods they like and which ones stir memories of the past.

Because we believe that residents still want to be active and enjoy a level of self-worth, we have specially designed a resident kitchen within the community where residents can enjoy helping prepare snacks or parts of the meals in their own supervised kitchen.  Whether it is preparing cookies or helping cut up strawberries for the evening meals, it is easily one of the most popular areas in the community!

Trained Staff

Caring for those with Alzheimer's disease and dementia requires knowledge, experience, understanding and – above all – compassion.  Roxanne House staff receive continuous training from some of the most skilled and experienced professionals providing memory care today. Compassion, combined with the positive attitudes of staff, drives the success of the program.

Our staff is trained to support the three key principles of assisted living as it relates to memory care:  Offer choice, maintain dignity and promote individuality.  In each senior living community, we offer residents choices in the services they receive by incorporating them and their family members in the process.  Maintaining someone’s dignity is simple;  Show respect, protect their privacy, and encourage independence.  While resident’s have similar needs, each resident has his or her own likes and dislikes, routines, and lifestyles.  Even when seniors live with others in a senior living community, they are individuals.

Our staff looks for opportunities to help residents succeed at familiar tasks, whether it is making their bed or baking a sheet of cookies. These activities give residents the opportunity to experience the satisfaction of a job well done with the security of knowing a helping hand is always nearby.
