Azalea Gardens

Tallahassee, FL - Assisted Living, Memory Care

Community size: Large (26-100)

Here at Azalea Gardens, we are more than a memory care facility, we are a memory care community. Located close to Capital Regional Medical Center and Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, it offers a warm and welcoming senior community for those in need of assisted living, transitional assisted living, or memory care in Tallahassee, Florida.

We understand that, in many peoples’ lives, a transitional time comes when additional assistance for daily living is required. Sunshine Retirement Living provides options that respect and cherish our residents with the finest care and amenities available. We’re here to help your loved one gently transition to an environment where they can enjoy personalized care options and a plan as uniquely individual as they are. The needs, goals, and interests of each of our residents are our highest priority in everything we do.

Azalea Gardens combines Person-Centered Care with a robust Life Enrichment Program that embraces Sunshine’s six Pillars of Wellness: physical engagement, sensory stimulation, spiritual support, social connection, intellectual discovery, and emotional expression.

Deeply rooted in Montessori methodology, Sunshine’s Wellness Programs and collaborative, Person-Centered Care assessments come together to provide residents with care that goes above and beyond that of traditional nursing homes.

Sunshine’s approach to collaborative care begins with in-depth discovery and an ongoing, detailed assessment process centered around individual needs, values, and preferences to create custom Person-Centered Care for each resident. It depends upon open and transparent communication and equal collaboration across all departments. The end result is an approach in which each individual resident benefits from the six core tenets of Person-Centered Care.

The important factor in Sunshine’s Person-Centered Care is the collaboration of team members who understand the importance of communication and participation. The development of this approach begins in the earliest phases of our relationship with the resident and family, and it involves every level of the community’s team, from front desk staff and housekeeping to executive directors.

In our secured environment, we strive to empower residents, improve quality of life, enhance dignity, honor choice, support independence, and promote positive well-being. We do this by offering customizable levels of care, so whether your loved one is just starting to experience memory challenges, or if they have been living with Alzheimer’s and dementia for quite some time, you can rest assured knowing that our experienced and professional staff is providing the care they need, day and night.

Based on the Sunshine Pillars of Wellness, the Memory Care Life Enrichment Program draws from a philosophy that is rooted in a Montessori-style approach. While the Montessori method was initially developed for early childhood education, the philosophy and approaches – modified to honor the age and experiences of our residents – provide sensory stimulation and encourage cognitive stimulation while building on existing social skills.
