Braeswood Homes is a residential care home that concentrates on meeting day-to-day health needs for older adults in Houston. The community is prepared for residents who wander, experience elopement risk, require oxygen therapy, follow physician-ordered special diets, or manage diabetes with oral medication. Care staff are trained to work with individuals who have moderate dementia, and an on-call nurse is available around the clock for clinical oversight. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments, and the team can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfers are supported at every level, from standby help for walker users to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers for non-weight-bearing residents.
Safety measures include employee background checks, an awake overnight staff, door alarms, and a fenced rear area to deter unsupervised exits. An activity director coordinates structured programs designed to engage residents with cognitive or mobility limitations. These staffing and security features work together to maintain a secure environment while allowing residents to participate in daily routines.
Accommodations at Braeswood Homes are furnished and designed for practical comfort, though individual rooms may differ in layout and features. Residents can set up personal items to create a familiar living space, and housekeeping maintains cleanliness according to care standards.
Dining follows a set menu developed to meet nutritional requirements, with modifications available for therapeutic and diabetic diets. Three scheduled meals are served each day, and snacks are offered between meals to support blood-sugar stability and general nourishment.
The property is wheelchair accessible, has internet access available for residents and guests, permits smoking only in designated outdoor areas, and is located near public transportation routes, which can simplify travel for visiting family members.
