Edgemere in Dallas, Texas offers an Independent Living setting backed by a range of clinical resources. Residents can schedule regular visits with on-site physicians, receive physical therapy without leaving the property, and arrange respite or short-term stays when additional assistance is needed. Diabetes management is available, and a speech therapist is on hand for language or swallowing challenges, making the community suitable for individuals who want independence but still value prompt medical attention.
Additional safeguards support daily life. The campus is a secured, gated community with 24-hour security staff, so entry and exit are monitored around the clock. On-site services include memory care programming, incontinence and ambulatory care, optometry, podiatry, massage therapy, and hospice coordination. Nurses oversee medication management, while occupational, physical, and speech therapists provide scheduled treatments. Spaces are designed to accommodate memory loss when necessary, creating a structured environment for residents who develop cognitive concerns.
Living quarters range from traditional apartments to units with balconies, decks, or patios; however, individual residences vary, and not every unit includes every feature. Select floor plans offer kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, central or in-unit fireplaces, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning. The community is pet-friendly, provides parking, and maintains outdoor areas for relaxation.
Dining follows a flexible, restaurant-style model with all-day service. A professional chef prepares meals that can be ordered as kosher, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low-sodium, or no-sugar-added. International menu options and guest meals are available, supporting a range of dietary preferences without sacrificing variety.
Residents have access to an activity center, library and computer lounge, swimming pool, indoor and outdoor walking paths, fitness and yoga programs, happy hours, live music, dances, karaoke, woodworking, social outings, and intergenerational, reminiscence, sensory-based, Montessori, and other educational or spiritual events. Clubs and special interest communities meet regularly, and birthday celebrations are scheduled throughout the year, giving residents consistent opportunities to stay active and socially engaged.
