Autumn Wind Assisted Living in Mineola, Texas, offers two primary levels of residential support: Assisted Living for those who need help with daily tasks and Independent Living for residents who manage most activities on their own but want the security of staff nearby. Residents can move between these two care types if their needs change, allowing them to stay in familiar surroundings while receiving an appropriate level of assistance.
Medical care is emphasized on site. The community supports diabetes management, provides respite or short-term stays, and has access to a speech therapist. Licensed nurses oversee medication management and incontinence care, while physical therapists, podiatrists, and massage therapists visit regularly. Memory care and hospice services are available for residents with advanced or end-of-life needs. Ambulatory care is offered for those who require mobility assistance, and pet-focused programs are in place to help residents keep animal companions involved in their daily routines.
Apartments and suites come with a range of features such as utilities (except cable), air conditioning, kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, and phone service. Select units add ground-floor access, private patios, balconies, or decks. Common areas include a central fireplace, piano or organ space, indoor lounges, and well-kept outdoor areas with parking for residents who drive. Not every accommodation has every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific details during a tour.
Dining follows a restaurant-style format, and three meals are provided daily. Special diets are accommodated, with options for kosher, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low-sodium, and no-sugar menus. Room service is available for those who prefer to eat privately or need to rest, and guests can purchase meals to dine with residents.
Residents can stay active through an on-site activity center, scheduled group trips, and a variety of clubs and communities. Regular programming includes yoga or chair yoga, walking club, daily physical fitness classes, and broader fitness programs. Additional amenities include a jacuzzi, swimming pool, live music events, library and computer lounge, creative and spiritual activities, intergenerational programs, holiday parties, social outings, and resident-sponsored clubs covering many interests. Outdoor spaces are accessible for activities and relaxation, allowing residents to choose between indoor and outdoor engagement throughout the week.
