Clarissa Care is a residential care home exclusively for women in Houston that concentrates on providing consistent medical oversight. The staff is equipped to help residents who wander, remain awake at night, use oxygen, require special diets, fall below age sixty, or manage diabetes with oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Advanced dementia needs are accepted, and psychiatric conditions can be accommodated on site. Around-the-clock nurse availability means changes in condition are addressed quickly, and full assistance is offered for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting.
Additional safeguards include an awake night shift, door alarms, a fenced rear area, and 24-hour security staff on site, all reinforced by completed background checks on employees. Transfer capabilities range from walker and wheelchair help to one- and two-person transfers, full-body Hoyer lifts, and care for residents who are bed bound. These measures allow the community to accept women with varying levels of mobility and cognitive impairment while maintaining a controlled environment.
Rooms come furnished, and residents may paint or decorate them to add a personal touch. Cable service is available in many units, although not every room includes every feature mentioned. Private and shared layouts are designed to support the personal care tasks delivered by staff, with enough space for mobility devices and medical equipment.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to accommodate special diets, including diabetic and other physician-ordered modifications. Snacks are available throughout the day, giving residents added flexibility to manage blood sugar and appetite between scheduled meals. Staff monitor intake closely for those who need help maintaining adequate nutrition.
Amenities and services extend beyond direct care. The property is wheelchair accessible and offers outdoor smoking areas, communal gardens, and on-site religious services. Residents have access to a barber and beauty shop, internet connectivity, regular housekeeping, laundry service, and medication management. A backup generator supports critical systems during power outages, reducing disruptions to care.
