Tender Care Home #4 in Arlington is licensed as a residential care home that can look after residents with a wide range of clinical needs. The staff is experienced in managing day-to-day care for people who wander at any hour, need wound care, rely on oxygen, require precise diabetic management—whether by oral medication, injections, or sliding scale—and residents younger than 60 who need supervision. The team is also trained to support advanced dementia conditions, with individualized plans aimed at reducing agitation and promoting safety.
Medical coverage is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff, an awake night shift, and 24-hour security and staffing. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and the community can accept residents who need anything from standby help with a walker to a two-person or Hoyer lift transfer, including those who are bed bound. A podiatrist visits on-site, reducing the need for outside appointments and minimizing disruptions to care routines.
Private and semi-private rooms are furnished, though specific features—such as closet size, room layout, or extra seating—can vary by unit. Families may want to confirm whether a particular room has the storage or floor space their relative needs, as not all accommodations have identical setups or dimensions.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet standard nutrition guidelines, with snacks available between meals. The kitchen can modify textures, portion sizes, and nutrient content to align with physician-ordered diets, including diabetic, low-sodium, or other specialized plans.
Residents can spend time outdoors in designated smoking areas, move freely around wheelchair-accessible common spaces, and stay connected through internet access provided by the community.
