Ivy Court located in Orlando, Florida offers Alzheimer's and Dementia Care options for seniors.
Everything about Ivy Court is designed for one, singular purpose – an uncompromising commitment to those with dementia and their families. From the building design to carefully selected staff to specialized programming to professional training, we are focused on the individual needs of each person we serve.

Highly Individualized Care

Ivy Court provides each resident with an individualized service plan to anticipate and meet their unique needs, to help them feel safe and add meaning to their day. Physical and behavioral needs, as well as life history play an integral role in maintaining familiar daily routines and service plans for each resident. These plans are reviewed regularly by staff to ensure that we meet the changing needs of our residents.

Compassionate Assistance

Individuals working with memory loss must have compassion, understanding and creativity. Our staff is carefully selected and trained to understand and manage the unique challenges associated with dementia. Many of the same caregivers are with a resident throughout the day, helping with all their needs.

Alzheimer's and dementia care experts work at Brookdale Senior Living to provide training, ongoing support and creative problem solving to all memory care staff.

Creating Familiarity in Daily Living

Ivy Court has lovely, peaceful surroundings inside and out. Our home-like setting was designed to re-create environments people have enjoyed throughout their lives. Interior spaces are scaled and decorated like those of a private home. Indoor and enclosed outdoor walking paths give residents the opportunity to explore safely. Residents may have their own rooms and decorate with personal furnishings and other items that help connect them to their past.
