Mayberry Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Care Homes

Type A assisted living services include 24 hour watchcare, an emergency call system and medication management. Type A residents must be able to evacuate without assistance.

Type B services add a higher staffing ratio, incontinence care, transferring assistance, bathing, and dressing and grooming help, and residents do not have to be able to evacuate without assistance.

Memory care serves people with all forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's. Caregivers receive background checks and special dementia training, and the homes maintain a high staff-to-resident ratio.

A visiting physician regularly sees residents and helps coordinate care, and home health nurses, hospice caregivers and certified private caregivers are accepted.

Residents may bring their own bed or other furniture, and personalizing rooms is encouraged.

Rooms have a central fire alarm system with smoke detectors in every room and a commercial-level fire sprinkler system. Type A rooms have an emergency call button.

Type A services include daily housekeeping, laundry and linens, cable and internet. There are no leases, and residents can move in and out at will with a 30-day notice when moving out.

Transportation is available for a trip charge.

The community serves three home-cooked meals each day in a family-style setting that encourages socializing at mealtimes. Menu items can be adjusted for many dietary needs.

Daily activities are designed around each resident's interests. Memory care activities include folding towels and clipping coupons, organized games, art classes, hand massages and facials.

Each home has a dedicated activities specialist, and the homes have walking paths, internet connections and cable television.

The Grand Prairie home is at 540 E. Polo Rd. and serves Grand Prairie, Irving, Arlington and surrounding areas. The community also operates a home in Denton.
