Caring Touch in Hitchcock, Texas operates as a residential care home and is structured to address a range of medical needs. Registered and licensed nurses are on staff, with a nurse on call at all times for urgent situations. The community is equipped to manage oxygen therapy and provides special diet oversight, including diabetic care whether residents use oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Individuals under age 60 and those with mild dementia or approved psychiatric conditions are also accepted. Medication management is handled on site, so prescriptions, refills, and dosage adjustments remain coordinated within the community.
Daily support extends to bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting for residents who need some physical assistance, and staff can supervise or aid transfers involving walkers, wheelchairs, or standby help. Security and oversight measures include 24-hour staff presence, background-checked employees, a night shift that remains on site but asleep, and fenced rear grounds. Personal emergency response systems alert staff in real time, and the building maintains locked access for added safety.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and not every room includes every feature. Some units come furnished, others allow residents to bring personal items, and many offer cable access.
