Graceful Harbor No. 1 in Huffman is a licensed residential care home equipped to manage a wide range of health needs. The community accepts residents who wander during the day or night, live with behavioral concerns, require oxygen therapy, follow medically directed special diets, or need diabetes management with oral medications or insulin injections. Individuals under 60 years old are welcome, and the staff is trained to care for people with advanced dementia. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and the home can safely accommodate residents who use walkers or wheelchairs, those needing standby help, one-person transfers, full transfers with a Hoyer lift, or are fully bed-bound.
Clinical oversight is supported by an RN/LPN on staff, a nurse on call around the clock, and medication management that includes primary-care provider rounding and acceptance of psychiatric diagnoses. Background checks are standard for all team members, night-shift caregivers stay awake, and safety measures include fenced outdoor areas, alarmed doors, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff. These layers of supervision are designed to maintain consistent monitoring while allowing residents as much autonomy as their conditions permit.
Private and semi-private rooms come furnished, and families may paint or decorate to personalize the space, though not every room offers every feature. Cable service is available in select units, and routine housekeeping and scheduled laundry services help residents keep their environment orderly without added effort. Common areas are wheelchair accessible, and staff can quickly arrange adaptive equipment for those who need it.
Dining follows a set menu with optional adjustments for doctor-ordered or preference-based diets, including gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, pureed, or thickened-liquid preparations. Snacks are stocked and accessible throughout the day, and caregivers provide total assistance at mealtimes for anyone who has difficulty self-feeding or requires close monitoring for safety.
Residents have access to outdoor smoking areas, a full wheelchair-accessible layout, an on-site barber and beauty shop, community internet access, and maintained communal gardens. Regular religious services are held on the premises, and scheduled transportation helps residents reach medical appointments as well as local errands and social outings.
