Pelican Bay Assisted Living Community sits in Beaumont, Texas, where things move a bit slower, offering seniors a peaceful setting with pretty views of the LNVA Canal and acres of trees and open green spaces, and from what folks say, you can really feel that relaxed, semi-rural feel when you walk through the doors where stone accents, big windows, and a lot of natural light make the place feel more like an upscale retreat than a facility. The building has only one floor, which helps with getting around, especially for those using wheelchairs, and there's customer parking right on site, which sure makes visits easier for family and friends.
This community is part of SeniorLiving.com's network, and it acts as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) where seniors can live as independently as they want but find more help if they need it later on, so some residents just enjoy the independent living suites, while others use the assisted living and memory care services for help with daily support or for safe, specialized memory care in a secure area for those with Alzheimer's or dementia. They do allow pets, which brings a lot of comfort to residents, and you'll find a variety of suites, both private and shared, for more living choice.
When it comes to care, the staff provides personal assistance that's tailored to each resident-so some folks just get a little help with bathing or medication, while others need more hands-on nursing oversight or have personalized plans for memory care. There's a skilled nursing facility right on campus for residents who need more medical care, so there's no need to move if health needs change over time, and you can switch between care levels all in the same place.
The grounds and inside spaces have comfortable areas to relax, like a library, TV lounge, craft room, barber and beauty shop, private dining room for family gatherings, and several outdoor spots for fishing or having picnics when it's nice outside. Residents have access to all sorts of activities, including fitness programs, wellness classes, outings, and social events that change monthly-there's almost always something to do, whether it's games, devotional services, hobby groups, or just enjoying the company of neighbors.
Meals are included and are made to fit various diets, including options for vegetarians and those who need kosher foods, with snacks and drinks available and the goal being to keep meals both healthy and enjoyable. On top of this, the staff handles housekeeping, laundry, and linen services so residents can focus on what matters most to them.
There's an emergency response system and transportation is available for doctor's visits and outings, which makes things easier and safer. The place welcomes visiting families and children, and the environment is described as cozy, warm, clean, and friendly, with staff who get to know the residents pretty well.
Overall, Pelican Bay offers seniors a safe place to live with many choices in care and a strong focus on each person getting the attention and support they need to stay as independent and fulfilled as possible.
