Colonial Lodge Assisted Living in Terrell, Texas, is licensed for traditional assisted living and is prepared to serve residents who live with moderate dementia. Care plans are designed to help each resident maintain daily routines while having immediate access to clinical support. Medication management, monitoring of chronic conditions, and coordination with outside medical providers are central to the service model, so that residents can stay on site even as medical needs change.
An RN and LPN are on staff to oversee health needs and to train caregivers. All employees pass background checks, and every suite is equipped with a pull-cord system that routes alerts directly to on-duty staff. Team members provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, and they can offer some physical help at mealtimes. Mobility programs are flexible: residents who walk independently may receive simple standby supervision, while those who need a walker, wheelchair, one-person, or two-person transfer receive the appropriate level of hands-on help.
Residential suites vary in layout; some have a private bathroom, some add a kitchenette, and selected units include independent temperature controls. Families should confirm which features are available in the specific room they are considering. Basic maintenance, weekly housekeeping, and linen service are standard.
Meals are prepared three times a day in the central kitchen, and snacks are available between meals. Menus are adjusted for diabetic, low-sodium, or mechanical-soft requirements and are reviewed for nutritional compliance. Staff are present in the dining room to cue or physically assist residents who have difficulty eating, and clinical staff track weight trends to catch any changes in appetite.
Residents have access to outdoor smoking areas, and the community is wheelchair accessible throughout. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Additional amenities include an on-site barber and beauty shop, an exercise room with senior-friendly equipment, communal gardens, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments and local errands.
