Aug 5th Grand Opening for Buda Alzheimer's Residence

PRLog (Press Release) - Jun 28, 2010 -
Today, Arveda Alzheimer’s Family Care, LLC, an Austin-based company that specializes in operating assisted-living residences, announces that it will host a Grand Opening for its new Buda Alzheimer’s Family Care residence on August 5th from 5 to 8 pm.  The Grand Opening is open to the public and the ribbon cutting will be at 6 pm.  An RSVP is respectfully requested for anyone planning on attending the Grand Opening (krterracina@arvedacare.com).

Under the leadership of Jennifer Scott, Vice President of Facility Development & Operations, the new residences have been designed from the ground up to provide the best environment possible for residents, their families and caregivers. The Arveda team includes Carol Hering, the Executive Director of the residence. Over the past twelve years, Mrs. Hering has worked with families to help them understand the complex diagnosis of dementia.  Mrs. Hering considers it a privilege to care for a family’s loved one in a warm and loving setting that is specifically designed for them.  Helping families have the best experiences with their loved one is her goal.  As a native Austinite and a graduate of the University of Texas, she looks forward to working with families and helping them understand the complex diagnosis of a loved one with dementia.

The Austin and Buda residences offer the most attentive and state-of-the-art care available in the Austin area. They follow the “social model” of care, which emphasizes individual living spaces, a home-like environment, and the active participation of the residents in stimulating activities.  Residents enjoy furnished private rooms in a secured home environment, with service plans designed using input from the residents and their families. Every staff member is specifically trained in Alzheimer’s and dementia care, and will provide an array of engaging daily activities. Arveda is proud to announce that its facilities were the first in Austin to implement the award-winning Vigil Dementia System, which uses non-invasive sensors in the residents’ rooms to alert staff when a resident needs assistance, thereby maintaining both the resident’s privacy while providing safe and attentive care.

Reservations are currently being accepted with the residence scheduled to open in July following the completion of inspections by the state.  Prospective residents and families are encouraged to call (512) 828-8150 or visit www.arvedacare.com to learn more.  Certified Alzheimer’s license is pending.
