University Place in Abilene offers assisted-living services designed to support residents who need help with daily tasks while still wanting a measure of independence. Care staff are available around the clock to assist with dressing, bathing, grooming, and medication management. Licensed nurses oversee resident care plans, monitor vital signs, and coordinate with physicians as needed. The community’s emergency call system links residents to staff at any hour, and regular wellness checks help detect and address health concerns promptly.
Beyond routine assistance, the community provides therapy coordination and transportation to local medical appointments. Pharmacy delivery is arranged on-site, and staff handle prescription refills and renewals. Residents benefit from scheduled health screenings, vaccination clinics, and fall-prevention assessments. For those recovering from illness or injury, temporary increased care levels can be arranged without the need for relocation.
Apartments are set up to accommodate different mobility and lifestyle requirements. Some units include wheelchair-accessible showers, Wi-Fi, cable TV hookups, and individual climate control, while others may feature a patio that overlooks the butterfly garden or quick access to outdoor areas and parking. Pet-friendly options are available in certain floor plans, and a community piano or organ is located in a common area rather than every apartment. Because layouts vary, not every accommodation includes every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific details during a visit.
Meals are prepared on-site by a professional chef and served three times daily in the main dining room. Menus are designed to meet nutritional guidelines for older adults, and modified diets can be provided when prescribed. Guest meals are offered so family members can dine alongside residents. Snacks are available between meals, and hydration stations remain accessible throughout the day.
Residents have access to an activity center, outdoor spaces, and a swimming pool for low-impact exercise. A library and computer lounge support reading and internet use, while yoga and chair yoga sessions are scheduled regularly. Intergenerational programs bring in local students for shared activities, and birthday parties and live music events add to the social calendar. Fitness programs are led by trained staff, and planned social outings give residents opportunities to visit local attractions and run errands.
