Tender Care Assisted Living in Houston operates as both a residential care home and a dedicated memory care setting. The community is equipped to accept residents who wander during the day or night, have a history of elopement, display combative or other behavioral challenges, or remain awake through the night. Residents who use oxygen, need special diets, or are younger than 60 are also considered. Management is experienced with diabetes at every level—oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale protocols. The staff is trained to work with advanced dementia and related cognitive conditions.
An RN or LPN is on staff, and a nurse is on call around the clock. Background-checked caregivers remain awake on the night shift, while fenced outdoor areas and alarmed doors help reduce exit risk. On-site medical services include routine podiatry, dental visits, third-party lab draws, medication management, and scheduled visits from a primary care provider. The residence also accepts individuals with psychiatric diagnoses. Personal care covers full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer support ranges from standby help to two-person transfers, Hoyer lifts, and bed-bound care, so residents who use walkers or wheelchairs—or who need total assistance—can be accommodated.
Private and semi-private rooms come furnished, and many allow residents to repaint or add personal décor. Some rooms include cable service. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry keep living spaces clean and clothing in rotation. Not every room has every feature, so it is best to confirm details during a tour.
Meals follow a set menu prepared by staff who can modify diets for medical or texture reasons. Regular snacks are available, and the kitchen can serve mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid meals as ordered by a physician or speech therapist. Special diets tied to diabetes, cardiac concerns, or other conditions are managed according to each resident’s care plan.
Residents have access to outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-friendly common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, internet connectivity, and communal gardens. On-site religious services are offered, and a shuttle is available for medical appointments only.
