Colonial Gardens Alzheimer's Assisted Living of Texas focuses on caring for people with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia. This community sits in single-story homes with layouts that let residents wander safely, with no long hallways and plenty of staff always within sight. Homes are smaller and more structured, so the care stays personal. There are private and semi-private rooms, all designed to feel comfortable and calm, with calming color schemes, comfortable furniture, and decor that reflects the resident's tastes and history, including things like antique sideboards. Each home is surrounded by landscaped yards, mature trees, and gardens, so residents can sit outside, walk, watch birds and squirrels, and enjoy the shade.
Colonial Gardens has been providing specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care for over 20 years and is certified by the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services. Staff members have at least 20 hours of training, with classroom and virtual reality education that teaches them about behaviors related to Alzheimer's, Vascular, Parkinson's, Frontal-Temporal, Lewy Body, Pick's, Huntington's, and other rare dementias. There are 24-hour on-site caregivers, and the community can help residents with bathing, dressing, transfers, medication management, and other daily needs. A 24-hour call system and nursing staff are available at all times, and the buildings have alarms on doors, windows, and elevators for security.
The community provides restaurant-style dining, with chef-prepared or dietary meals each day, including set menus and choices for those who have allergies or diabetes. Residents can use private rooms when they want quiet time. Amenities include a salon, dental and podiatry visits, and scheduled activities like arts, movies, and group events. There are walking paths, a community lounge, and rooms for arts and crafts. Staff manages medications, cleans rooms, changes linens, launders clothes, and provides transportation and parking services when needed. The homes are non-ambulatory and wheelchair accessible, and staff helps with evacuation or moving residents during emergencies.
Colonial Gardens allows some pets, has all-inclusive pricing and requires an entry fee. Both private and semi-private rooms are available, and community sizes are kept small, with a 20-resident maximum, which keeps the caregiver-to-resident ratio high and the care more attentive. Residents and their families work with nurses to set up care plans and pick services. The community sits in quiet residential areas like Oakwell, River Park, and Castle Hills, which adds to the peace and relaxation of the place, and the homes are built with native limestone or have cozy interiors that feel more like a house than a facility. Every effort goes into helping residents live with dignity and as much independence as possible.
