Azalea Place sits in Henderson, Texas, and serves as a licensed assisted living facility with 36 beds, where the staff keeps an eye on things 24 hours a day and a registered nurse is on site for regular health needs and emergencies. People who move in must be at least 55 years old, and the community offers different types of rooms, like studios and one-bedroom units; the apartments provide privacy but also connect to indoor and outdoor common spaces for socializing. Residents can bring along their pets, and there's a big focus on keeping folks active, with activities like bingo, book clubs, arts and crafts, bowling, family nights, horseshoes, nature walks, and gardening in the courtyard, plus devotional services and Bible study for those who want them.
Home-cooked meals, including vegetarian and special diets based on health needs and tastes, are made by a chef and planned by a registered dietitian, and people can eat in the restaurant-style dining area or get meals brought to their apartments if needed, with snacks and decadent desserts always available. The staff helps with things like getting dressed, bathing, toileting, taking medicine, and even special care for folks with diabetes or incontinence, and they handle transferring people who need more help moving around, including two-person transfers. The staff develops care plans based on input from residents, doctors, and family, aiming to support residents' independence, dignity, and quality of life, and those plans can grow as residents' needs change, letting people age in place.
Azalea Place handles assisted living, memory care for dementia and Alzheimer's, skilled nursing, and home care, with visiting specialists like podiatrists, physical, occupational, and speech therapists, plus pharmacy and massage therapy. The secure setting means doorways and spaces are made for safety, with wheelchair-accessible showers, emergency call systems in rooms, and staff always awake through the night. Community amenities include a beauty shop, movie nights, arts and crafts, transportation services, resident parking, a snack shop, a barber, a landscaped courtyard, and a community kitchen. People can get short-term respite care or hospice care if needed, and the facility has earned recognition as a Great Place to Work®. Residents can smoke outdoors, and the environment supports connections with loved ones and religious groups. Meals and laundry are handled, so the daily chores are covered and people have time for the things they enjoy. Each new resident gets a thorough health assessment so the staff can create a plan tailored to their needs.
