Serenity Garden in Friendswood, TX provides both Residential Care Home living and specialized Memory Care, allowing residents to remain on one campus as needs change. The community supports advanced dementia, including residents who wander in the morning or evening, attempt elopement, exhibit combative or other behavioral challenges, remain awake overnight, or are under 60 years old with complex conditions. Medical oversight is in place for oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes management—whether residents use oral medications or insulin injections. A rounding primary-care physician visits the home, and on-site podiatry, audiology, and dental services reduce the need for outside appointments.
Care is delivered by a staff that maintains 24-hour awake coverage, with a nurse on call at all times, background-checked personnel, and door-alarm security backed by a fenced rear perimeter. An activity director structures programs throughout the day, and safety measures include full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfers range from simple standby help to one- or two-person support, walker and wheelchair moves, and full Hoyer lift services when needed. Psychiatric conditions are accepted, ensuring continuity of care for residents whose mental health concerns accompany their physical needs.
Private and semi-private rooms are available furnished, and some allow residents to paint or decorate to reflect personal tastes. Cable hookup, regular housekeeping, and scheduled laundry are standard services, though not every accommodation includes every amenity, so families should confirm specific room features during a tour.
Meals are served from a set menu, and staff manage texture modifications such as mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid diets. Vegetarian choices are offered, and clinical oversight supports specialized nutritional plans for diabetes or other medical conditions. Snacks are available throughout the day, and in-room dining can be arranged for those who prefer or require it.
Residents have access to wheelchair-friendly common areas, a barber and beauty salon, reliable internet, and landscaped communal gardens for supervised outdoor time. The community hosts on-site religious services and is equipped with a backup generator to help maintain routine operations during power interruptions.
