Brythaven Senior Living – Balmorhea is a residential care home that centers its programming on medical oversight. The team is prepared to manage oxygen therapy, create and monitor special dietary plans, support adults under 60 who need a higher level of daily help, and supervise diabetics who use oral medications. Staff members are also trained to care for residents with advanced dementia, adjusting routines and interventions as cognitive needs change.
Beyond clinical oversight, the community verifies that every direct-care employee has passed a background check. Caregivers can deliver full-assistance bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained in multiple transfer methods—ranging from simple standby help or walker guidance to one- and two-person transfers and full transfers with a Hoyer lift. Wheelchair users find support throughout the day, and mobility plans are updated whenever a resident’s status changes.
Private and semi-private living spaces are designed to reduce fall risks with wide doorways, step-in showers, and optional grab bars. Some rooms include in-suite baths or individualized climate controls, while others share amenities; not all accommodations have all the features, so tours are encouraged for confirmation.
Meals follow a set menu prepared in-house, with snacks available between scheduled dining times. Therapeutic diets—such as carbohydrate-controlled or low-sodium plans—are provided without additional fees, and staff remain on hand to cue or directly assist residents who need help finishing meals.
Residents have access to community-wide internet, enabling email, video calls, and other online activities for those who wish to stay connected.
