Village Care Homes – Stephen F. Austin operates as a residential care home capable of serving adults with a wide range of medical needs. Residents who use oxygen, require special diets, manage diabetes with oral medication or injections, or are younger than 60 are accepted. The home is equipped and trained to support advanced dementia and can also accommodate individuals with psychiatric diagnoses. An RN or LPN is on staff and a nurse is on-call at all times, allowing prompt attention to changing health conditions, medication questions, or urgent concerns.
Care delivery is reinforced by background-checked staff who remain awake throughout the night and by a security system that includes door alarms, a fenced rear area, and personal emergency response devices that alert caregivers instantly. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility and transfer support ranges from simple standby help to two-person transfers and Hoyer lift use for bed-bound residents. An activity director coordinates daily engagement while around-the-clock staffing ensures supervision and quick response.
Private and semi-private rooms are offered; some include a private bathroom, basic furnishings, cable service, and the option for residents or families to paint or decorate the space. Because layouts vary, not every accommodation has each of these features, so prospective residents should confirm availability during a visit.
Meals are served from a set menu developed to meet nutritional guidelines, and staff can modify textures or ingredients as prescribed. Between meals, snacks are available to maintain stable blood sugar and support individual preferences or therapeutic diets ordered by a physician.
Residents have access to wheelchair-friendly common areas, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, internet connectivity, and communal gardens. On-site religious services, medication management, housekeeping, and laundry are provided, streamlining daily routines and reducing the need for off-site appointments.
