Watermere at the Preserve in North Richland Hills is an independent living community that keeps clinical resources close at hand. Residents can receive regular visits from a speech therapist, and on-site professionals manage medications, monitor vitals and address day-to-day health questions. Licensed nurses are on campus, coordinating with occupational and physical therapists to create exercise or recovery plans as needed. A podiatrist visits routinely to handle foot and gait issues, helping residents maintain mobility without leaving the property.
Beyond scheduled therapy sessions, the staff maintains 24-hour response systems in each apartment and conducts periodic wellness checks. Care coordination with outside physicians is available, along with transportation to specialist appointments. Emergency call pendants and a documented medication administration program add further safeguards. These measures allow residents to focus on an active lifestyle while knowing support is immediately accessible.
Apartments range from studios to larger floor plans and may include features such as private balconies, patios or decks, cable or satellite TV hookups, Wi-Fi, and individual climate control. Some homes offer wheelchair-accessible showers, while others provide standard baths; not every unit contains every listed feature. The community is pet-friendly, includes designated parking, and offers indoor common areas like a central fireplace, piano lounge and butterfly garden to encourage socializing.
Dining is handled by a professional chef who prepares restaurant-style meals and accommodates specialized diets, including gluten-free, low-sodium and no-sugar options.
