AvilaCare Senior Living in Heath, Texas, delivers both Assisted Living and Memory Care under one roof, allowing residents to transition between the two as health needs evolve. On-site medical services include physician oversight, diabetes monitoring, medication management, and routine visits from dentists, podiatrists, physical, occupational, and speech therapists. Staff members handle ambulatory and incontinence care, while hospice partners are available to support end-of-life comfort. Short-term respite stays can be arranged for families who need temporary support, and individualized care plans are reviewed regularly to keep pace with each resident’s condition.
Clinical services are supported by 24-hour staffing, an emergency call system in every apartment, and a secured community layout that adds an extra layer of protection for residents living with cognitive decline. The memory care neighborhood features controlled entries to reduce wandering risks, and daily wellness checks allow caregivers to spot changes in condition quickly. Coordination with local hospitals, pharmacies, and specialists helps minimize disruptions if lab work, imaging, or medication adjustments are required.
Apartments are air conditioned and wired for high-speed Wi-Fi and cable or satellite TV, with many floor plans offering wheelchair-accessible showers and handicap-friendly layouts. Some units permit small pets, and select rooms open directly onto landscaped outdoor areas. A community piano or organ provides a gathering point for casual music sessions. Not all accommodations include every feature, so confirming specific amenities during a tour is recommended.
Residents take meals in a communal dining room or order from an all-day menu that includes low-sodium, no-sugar-added, gluten-free, and vegan options. Guest meals can be arranged for visiting family members, and staff monitor dietary compliance for physician-ordered restrictions. Coordination with speech therapists ensures texture-modified meals are available when needed, helping each resident maintain adequate nutrition.
Daily life is rounded out by an activity center that hosts yoga and chair-yoga classes, live music performances, birthday celebrations, and intergenerational programs. Indoor walking paths, raised garden beds, and organized social outings keep residents active, while clubs and communities meet regularly in the library and computer lounge for discussion and game nights. These services aim to keep residents socially engaged and physically active throughout their stay.
