Homestead Assisted Living of Hays provides standard assisted-living services and accepts residents who have dementia diagnoses. Care plans are individualized, and the team coordinates daily health monitoring, medication administration, and ongoing communication with physicians and families to make sure residents receive the medical oversight they need.
The community keeps licensed nurses on staff, maintains a nurse on call 24 hours a day, and assigns awake caregivers to the night shift, all of whom must pass background checks. Doors are alarmed and a 24-hour security presence is in place. Direct care staff can help with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting when only some physical assistance is required, and they are trained to handle transfers that involve walkers, wheelchairs, standby support, or a one-person lift. An activity director rounds out the care team by planning structured and therapeutic programs that support cognitive function and social engagement.
Residences can be personalized; some units allow painting and decorating, and many offer in-room cable service, though not every accommodation includes every feature. Regular housekeeping is provided, and independent-living residents can opt for additional housekeeping and laundry services.
Meals follow a set menu, but on-order choices are available at each seating, and snacks are offered throughout the day. A private dining room can be reserved for family visits or special occasions, and staff work with residents who have dietary restrictions to ensure nutritional needs are met.
Amenities include a barber and beauty salon, an exercise room, internet access, concierge services, a library, special-interest clubs, and convenient access to public transportation. The community welcomes pets; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
