Monticello West is the go-to senior living community in Park Cities. Throughout our 30-year history we have continued to offer a supportive, caring alternative to living alone for individuals seeking dementia or Alzheimer’s care. Our tight-knit, residential memory care neighborhood offers studio or companion suites with safety and security features, enriching daily memory support activities, and warm, professional caregivers including licensed nurses. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your loved one searching for memory care facilities near you will continue to enjoy the highest quality of life through highly specialized, innovative memory care and support available at Monticello West.
For individuals needing Alzheimer’s and dementia care, HeartfeltConnections™ – A Memory Care Program® promotes physical and emotional well-being, supports daily functioning and maintains a sense of purpose, satisfaction, dignity and quality of life. With our innovative memory care activities and programming, you can get back to being the daughter, son or spouse your loved one needs in his or her life.
We start by truly getting to know each resident on a personal level, capturing a lasting legacy of details about your loved one: family, friends, career, hobbies, likes and dislikes. This allows us to gain insights to develop true person-centered activities and programming for each resident. By focusing on the capabilities that remain instead of what was lost, we make each moment meaningful, purposeful and create success stories, one small victory at a time.
Becoming a caregiver doesn’t come with a how-to manual. Finding a memory care community for your loved one can be overwhelming, especially if all of this is new to you. Even if your loved one is in a progressed stage of a memory-related disorder, we understand you still need a place to find information and get answers to your questions.
Our guiding principles are part of everything we do to provide for our Alzheimer’s and dementia care residents. We whole-heartedly believe:
Our exceptional memory care facility offers a safe and secure environment. To provide your loved one the best memory support services in Dallas Texas all while giving them the chance to experience newfound joy in warm, familiar surroundings.
Developed by Josie Winland, Executive Director of Monticello West, the Jefferson Bridge offers assisted living residents easy access to senior memory care support services and programming without the need to relocate to our memory care community. This can be an ideal solution for seniors who are still able to perform many of the activities of daily living, but who could benefit from cognitive, social and physical stimulation. Or, for senior couples who now find themselves with varying levels of dementia or Alzheimer’s care needs.

For residents with memory loss, we can minimize anxiety by incorporating specific routines in a familiar, comfortable environment. Without balance in their lives, residents of our memory care community often experience frustration or agitation. To lead a balanced and active life, there are three components we subconsciously all require:
“Mom loves her apartment. It’s nicely painted and carpeted, and the size is perfect for her. She has a living room area with a full-size couch and chairs, so she can entertain guests. I visit a couple of times a week, and my husband swings by on other days. My son stops by every few weeks, too. Mom has her own space that looks and feels like home. Every time I’m there, she just seems contented.”
The comforting day-to-day services and amenities in our memory care community include:
Additionally, we provide a variety of life-enriching activities to ensure residents are enjoying an engaging lifestyle:
We offer several memory care floor plan options designed to fit your need and lifestyle. Choose from a studio or one-bedroom efficiency and personalize your space to make it your own.
We just need a few details to get started.
While you may be familiar with what we offer in our memory care neighborhood for Alzheimer’s patients, you may not realize that our care goes beyond treating just the most popular forms of dementia. We provide specialized memory care programs customized to treat patients with varying types of the disease.
For individuals suffering from Lewy body disease (LBD), their needs can change on a daily basis. It’s imperative that our specially trained staff be on the same page every day to ensure we are offering the right level of care for each patient.
Just some of the ways we enrich the lives of patients suffering from Lewy body dementia include:
Our specialized memory care unit offers a quiet area that is designated specifically for individuals experiencing psychological symptoms of Lewy body dementia. For these patients, we take person-centered care to another level by understanding that patient needs can change on a daily basis.
As Parkinson’s disease progresses, dementia sets in. When it manifests in patients it can lead to isolation, depression and anxiety. At Monticello West, our specially trained staff knows how to work with patients to help prevent them from feeling alone, ostracized or depressed.
For patients with Parkinson’s disease we offer a unique approach that includes:
Again, it is our main goal to provide all of our memory care patients with dignity as their symptoms progress and their quality of life declines. By addressing the disease on a personal level, we can help to prevent depression and allow patients to live as peacefully as possible.
Need something special? No problem. Additional services are offered for memory care residents who may need them, including transfer assistance, incontinence care, or assistance with dining, ambulation and more.
Additionally, if you or your loved one should require hospice care, Monticello West partners with agencies in the Dallas area for supportive end-of-life care. Medicare and most private insurance plans cover hospice services, so you are only responsible for the cost of room and board.
Respite services for individuals needing assistance with daily living—and those who love them.
At Monticello West, we understand the physical and emotional commitments of caregiving. And from time to time, it is important to take time for yourself. Whether you are a full-time caregiver or you are just concerned about an aging loved one living alone, the Monticello West Respite Care Program offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy a little time and freedom to rest or travel without worry.
Respite care services and amenities in Monticello West’s memory care community include:
