Tender Care Home for Adults operates as a residential care home in Arlington, providing continuous oversight for residents who require close medical monitoring. The staff is trained to care for individuals who wander during the day or night, show elopement risk, present combative or other behavioral challenges, or stay up all night. They also manage wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes—whether controlled with oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. The home accepts adults under 60 years old and is equipped to support advanced dementia conditions.
An RN or LPN is on staff, and a nurse is on call 24 hours a day. All employees undergo background checks, and an asleep night-shift caregiver is scheduled every night. The building has 24-hour staffing, fenced outdoor areas, door alarms, and a personal emergency response system to alert staff if help is needed. On-site podiatry services reduce the need for outside appointments. Residents who need full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting receive hands-on help. Transfer support ranges from supervision while using a walker to two-person transfers or a full Hoyer lift for bed-bound residents.
Accommodations include rooms that may feature a private bathroom, furnishings, and cable service. Not every room offers every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific room details during a visit.
Meals follow a set menu, and snacks are available between meals. Therapeutic diets can be provided to accommodate physician orders, diabetic needs, or other nutritional requirements.
Amenities include outdoor smoking areas, a designated movie room, and internet access for residents and their visitors.
