Sarah Peters from The Verandah Assisted Living and Memory Care says, “The Verandah at Graywood's specialized memory care neighborhood ensures that residents who need broader services and a safer environment have everything they need without having to endure the stress of a move and acclimation to a new community.”
The new facility at the Lake Charles assisted living neighborhood is a state-of-the-art memory care community that is designed to address the cognitive, social, spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of residents. Here, the residents are motivated to express themselves and offer feedback, learn and grow, and establish new relationships in a safe and encouraging environment. As such, the amenities and activities are designed to contribute to such goals. These amenities and activities that residents can access at The Verandah at Graywood at their leisure include music therapy, aromatherapy, life skills stations, socialization opportunities and low-impact exercises.
The Verandah at Graywood knows the importance of reminiscence and therefore provides familiar and comforting smells and sounds for the residents like the smell of freshly baked pie and music from the time when the residents were still in their youth.
Of utmost importance is the personal care provided for the residents of the memory care neighborhood. The arrangements will be same as the routine established by the residents at home. For instance, whether they prefer to bathe or shower, what time they eat their meals, and how much assistance they require. Support staff will inquire into these personal preferences when residents move in. Some of the services that are available for them are bathing, dressing, grooming, oral care, health monitoring, and medication management.
Residents of the memory care neighborhood at The Verandah at Graywood will also have full access to the amenities available to the whole assisted living community, such as 24/7 gourmet dining, salon, movie theater, fitness center, art studio, tavern, fishing points, chapel, library, computer center, and barbecue center.

Of important note among the services provided at The Verandah at Graywood is daily rhythm programming. A certified Life Enrichment Director is in charge of a research-backed health and wellness program that is integrated into the daily activities and weekly social on-site events and cultural excursions that are available to the residents. These include activities that develop social connections, provide spiritual support, allow emotional expression, and promote intellectual discovery.
Furthermore, residents are encouraged to spend some quality time outdoors. They can take a walk around the beautifully landscaped grounds, relax with their friends and family in the courtyards, and enjoy fishing in one of the fishing ponds.
