Settlers Ridge Care Center sits in Celina, Texas, and has a ranch-like feeling, with views of cattle, horses, fields, and gardens that make the place feel a bit like home, and there's always something peaceful about being surrounded by nature, having animals close, and knowing folks can spend their days watching life going by outside. The staff tries hard to keep everyone clean, comfortable, and well cared for, and they're known for positive attitudes and kindness to both residents and their families, which matters greatly to people coming here for any length of stay. Residents have their medications carefully reviewed, and the care team pays attention to health needs all day and night, since the center stays open 24 hours and gives support whenever someone needs help.
The kitchen puts together nutritious meals using good ingredients, because food is a big part of staying healthy and having something to look forward to, and the meals are meant to be enjoyable and filling. There's a focus on nourishing both body and spirit, and the staff sets up regular activities meant to keep people busy and connected, which has even earned recognition for outstanding programming, so there's always a chance to join in crafting, group games, or just enjoy company. Upscale touches, like meal service and help with admissions, are offered along with simple comforts, and family members can get involved through visits and events.
Settlers Ridge offers several kinds of help, depending on what each person needs - from supporting folks with active lives, all the way to those who need full care, including specialized memory care for those with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia. There's skilled nursing for those who have serious health issues, and staff provides wound care, medication management, and help with daily tasks like bathing or getting dressed. Short-term rehabilitation programs are available for people getting back on their feet after a hospital stay, while long-term care, intermediate care, and hospice are here for those who need more constant support. Outpatient therapy, physical, occupational, and speech therapies, and respite care for caregivers taking a break are all offered. The center also tries to keep hospital readmissions as low as possible by managing care after a hospital stay and focusing on good results with every treatment.
Residents here get opportunities to join in social events, enjoy a senior wellness program, eat in a dining space, and spend time with visiting children and pets - the goal is to make life more lively and less lonely. The facility features a gallery space and tries to involve people with plants, animals, and activity, which brings a bit of daily joy. There's a 24-hour compliance hotline for safety concerns, and anyone can reach out to a long-term care ombudsman for help, making sure complaints are addressed confidentially. Settlers Ridge tries to offer a supportive, homelike place to live, with care options for nearly every stage and need in senior living.
