Boulevard ALP can accept residents with mild dementia; however, there is no designated dementia program or unit at Boulevard ALP. A resident can remain at Boulevard ALP for as long as he or she is able to remain self-directing and is not in need of constant supervision. Our main concern is that the resident is not a safety risk to him or herself.
Our apartments come fully furnished however if more furniture is desired, it can be moved into the facility on the day of admission during regular business hours (Mon- Fri 9am- 5pm) only. During these hours the Superintendent is available to supervåse the move in such a way to minimize the impact to other residents. There are no moves permitted between 12pm and 1pm.
