BeeHive Homes of Abilene is an assisted-living community that provides 24-hour caregiver coverage, medication management, routine vital-sign monitoring, and coordination with outside physicians and pharmacies. Staff members assist residents with bathing, dressing, grooming, continence support, and mobility while using an emergency call system that links each suite to on-site caregivers. An on-call nurse reviews care plans and follows up on changes in condition, and the team arranges transportation and escorts for off-site medical appointments when necessary.

Additional health-related services include regularly scheduled wellness assessments, fall-prevention checks, and the organization of on-site therapy sessions through third-party physical, occupational, or speech therapists. The community also coordinates visiting lab services, handles prescription refills and delivery, and partners with home health and hospice agencies when higher levels of support are ordered by a physician. Short-term respite stays are available when space permits, and staff document daily care tasks in each resident’s file for easy review by families and healthcare providers.

Residents choose from private or companion suites equipped with individual climate controls, accessible bathrooms, and an emergency response pull-cord or pendant. Cable television, basic Wi-Fi, weekly housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance are included, while some floor plans add features such as kitchenettes, walk-in showers, or small patios; not all accommodations have every feature. Personal furniture is welcome, and pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.

Three home-style meals are served daily in the common dining room, and snacks are available around the clock. Menus are planned to meet general nutrition guidelines, with accommodations for low-sugar, low-sodium, or mechanically altered diets when ordered by a physician. Staff monitor intake, track weight changes, and provide assistance with cutting food or cueing as needed. Family members can arrange to join residents for meals, and special holiday or birthday menus are prepared throughout the year.
