A Rainbow Ridge is an assisted living and board and care community that serves older adults in Elgin, Texas, with a main address at 111 Hogeye Rd and another at PO Box 1232. The facility is owned by Ms. Carolyn Harsh and operates two locations in town, offering both private and semi-private rooms that come fully furnished, with options like telephones in rooms and companion care for those who need it, while staff take care of housekeeping, laundry, linen services, and meal preparation with careful attention to nutrition and special dietary restrictions so residents get healthy meals. With 24-hour supervision, A Rainbow Ridge provides help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management but also steps up with extra care for people who need memory care, diabetic support, incontinence help, or even high acuity care, so there's a lot of attention paid to changing needs as people age-including respite care for short-term needs and hospice support if needed.
Residents can expect a structured way of life with scheduled daily activities and community-sponsored events from games and arts and crafts to movie nights, which means folks can stay active and social while also having quiet time in common areas, walking paths, or gardens, and everyone's welcome to bring along animal companions because it's a pet-friendly place. The community emphasizes friendliness and respect, striving to make everyone feel comfortable with a small, close-knit environment and staff that know both the needs and the habits of the people living there. For those who need to get out, transportation services help with trips to doctors' appointments or community outings, and there's also resident parking for those who drive or have visitors. There're emergency alert systems and accessibility features like wheelchair accessible showers and full tubs, and services like beauty care right on site.
A Rainbow Ridge isn't accredited by the Better Business Bureau but does hold an A+ BBB rating, and the facility operates with state licensing and oversight through the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services, so it has to comply with important health and safety rules, including regular inspections and staffing requirements. The business is categorized under assisted living facilities and must keep a certain caregiver-to-resident ratio as part of its license. The community serves people who need different types of care-assisted living, independent seniors, those with dementia or Alzheimer's, and folks needing hospice or respite care. The emphasis here is on supporting independence while lending a hand whenever needed, with a steady routine of support, nutritious food, accessible living spaces, and chances for everyone to be as active or as relaxed as they want to be.
